synopsis
A wickedly funny thriller that takes moviegoers on a wild ride brimming with larceny, lust and lethal behavior. In icebound Wichita, Kansas, it's Christmas Eve, and this year Charlie Arglist just might have something to celebrate. Charlie, an attorney for the sleazy businesses of Wichita, and his unsavory associate, the steely Vic Cavanaugh have just successfully embezzled $2 million from Kansas City boss Bill Guerrard. But the real prize for Charlie is the stunning Renata, who runs the Sweet Cage strip club. Charlie hopes to slip out of town with Renata. But as daylight fades and an ice storm whirls, everyone from Charlie's drinking buddy Pete Van Heuten to the local police begin to wonder just what exactly is in Charlie's Christmas stocking - and the 12 hours of Christmas Eve are filled with surprises.

"Just act normal for a few hours, and we're home free," the calm and collected Vic (Billy Bob Thornton) attempts to reassure Charlie Arglist (John Cusack), his very nervous partner in crime. THE ICE HARVEST, a black comedy about a con gone wrong, uses that age old formula of a con in which it's never clear who is conning whom. It starts off as a simple theft, when Charlie steals two million dollars from his boss, but, given that Charlie is a mob lawyer, something that his very drunken buddy Pete Van Heuten (Oliver Platt) broadcasts to everyone he meets, the crime quickly gets complicated.
