O Brother, Where Art Thou? - Eine Mississippi-Odyssee
  • a.k.a. O Brother, Where Art Thou - Eine Mississippi-Odyssee

Ulysses Everett McGill führt eine Dreierbande von geistig etwas schwerfälligen Kettensträflingen an, die in der Depressionszeit durch das ländliche Mississippi streunen und dabei eine Reihe haarsträubender Abenteuer erleben: Ulysses verspricht seinen Kameraden einen versteckten Goldschatz, die Beute eines Überfalls, doch der Weg dorthin ist weit und von zahlreichen Begegnungen bestimmt. Da ist der schwarze Gitarrist, der seine Seele dem Teufel verkauft hat und mit den drei Sträflingen eine Platte aufnimmt, die zum Überraschungshit wird. Da sind die verführerischen Sirenen am Flussufer, der brutale Zyklop als herrlicher hinterhältiger Gauner und andere. Eine Szene führt zur nächsten, die Gefährten verlieren sich und finden sich wieder, kommen an Geld und werden darum betrogen. Irgendwann geht bei tauchenden Hunden, Propaganda-Zwergen und einer Ku-Klux-Klan-Parade das eigentliche Ziel von Ulysses’ Reise verloren …

Tre galeotti evadono dai lavori forzati. Durante il loro avventuroso viaggio attraverso l'America rurale della grande crisi, i tre incontreranno una variopinta galleria di personaggi: un vagabondo cieco che rivela loro il futuro, un chitarrista che ha venduto l'anima al diavolo, il rapinatore di banche George "Babyface" Nelson, tre sirene che cercheranno di rovinarli, un venditore di Bibbie senza un occhio, fino al rocambolesco finale in cui si troveranno faccia a faccia con lo spietato poliziotto che li sta inseguendo.
