Winterset is a 2025 American action crime drama directed by Michael P. Blevins, set in the rural heartland of Iowa. Three cash-strapped farmers rope in an unlikely urban accomplice for what looks like a clean score — until the man who actually owns the money comes looking for it.
What is Winterset about?
Life in Winterset, Iowa has grown desperate for a trio of struggling farmers. With bills piling up and no legal way out, they hatch a scheme to rob a wealthy local ranch owner of a fortune in cash. To pull it off they bring in a smooth-talking city man whose confidence masks a thin track record. The job starts cleanly enough, but the moment the bags disappear, so does any hope of a quiet exit. The real owner of that money — a man with neither patience nor mercy — arrives in town and begins hunting everyone involved. What began as a gamble for survival quickly turns into a race where loyalty is the only currency that still matters.
Cast & crew
Director Michael P. Blevins helms an ensemble that blends recognisable character faces with fresh talent. Kirk Fox and Gigi Gustin lead alongside Jonah Ray Rodrigues, Robert Craighead, Matt Peters, Bruce Soscia, Ben Gavin, and Danielle Ricci — a cast whose collective experience across independent film and television gives the story its lived-in, gritty texture.
Context & significance
Persian-speaking viewers abroad with a taste for lean, pressure-cooker crime stories will find Winterset a solid late-night pick. The film belongs to a long tradition of American rural noir — ordinary people, extraordinary stakes, and the moral cost of a single bad decision — a genre that travels well across cultures because greed and desperation need no translation. The film is available on K-Time with a full Persian dub as well as Persian subtitles, so you can follow every negotiation and threat in your preferred language without missing a beat.
