A Simple Plan – Minnesota
Sam Raimi’s 1998 crime drama told the story of a group who found millions of dollars and a dead pilot on a crash site. The group had to defend themselves from higher authorities because it was only luck that brought them such wealth.
The Washington Post reported that the discovery of treasures near Delano in Minnesota was similar to a story of corruption and greed. The movie plot required a lot of snow. Records show that Minnesota was not the best location. The majority of the sequences were filmed in Ashland Wisconsin.
The rest of the shooting went smoothly. As DOP Alar Kivilo admitted to Live Design back in 1999, the team was fortunate to find the perfect spot in the valley.

The film was filmed in a way that really connected with the audience.
