What The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada is
West Texas scrub. A gunshot. A shallow grave. Border agent Norton makes a fatal error, burying his victim in the desert. Estrada's friend Perkins exhumes the body, abducts Norton, and heads south, seeking consecrated ground. A contemporary western with a bleak moral compass.
