Rated PG-13; 93 minutes; 2000		  
In the Depression-era deep South, three escapees from a Mississippi prison chain gang: Everett Ulysses McGill (George Clooney), sweet and simple Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson), and the perpetually angry Pete (John Turturro) attempt to return home. Still in shackles, they make a hasty run for their lives and end up on an incredible journey filled with challenging experiences and colorful characters in this modern-day spin on Homer's The Odyssey.

 

 "Hilarious, homely, infuriating, ingenious, literary, and looney"
--John Anderson, NEWSDAY

"It's a new, new thing, classic myth from both literature and the movies, commingled, set to great folk music, and untrammeled by any sense of predictability, realism or believability but hypnotic, graceful and seductive"
--Stephen Hunter, WASHINGTON POST
