 Disenchanted with the daily drudge of crushing rocks on a prison farm in Mississippi, the dapper, silver-tongued Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney, The Perfect Storm) busts loose. Except he s still shackled to his two chain-mates from the chain gang -- bad-tempered Pete (John Turturro, Summer of Sam) and sweet, dimwitted Delmar ( Tim Blake Nelson, Hamlet). With nothing to lose and buried loot to regain -- before it s lost forever in a flood -- the three embark on the adventure of a lifetime in this hilarious offbeat road picture. Populated with strange characters, including a blind prophet, sexy sirens and a one-eyed Bible salesman (John Goodman, Cyote Ugly), it s an odyssey filled with chases, close calls, near misses and betrayal that will leave you laughing at every outrageous and surprising twist and turn.
