Description
Led by smooth talking Everett Ulysees McGill (
GEORGE CLOONEY), three escaped convicts make a break for freedom from a chain-gang in Depression era Mississippi. McGill talks the other two into the daring escape with the lure of a substantial stash of cash, buried after an armoured car heist. On their long and fraught journey home, the escapees hook up with a travelling bluesman who has sold his soul to the devil for musical talent. In an attempt to raise cash, they stumble into an isolated radio station and record a good-timey song under the band/hill-billy name The Soggy Bottom Boys. The trio become overnight radio stars, with the whole of Mississippi desperate to find the whereabouts of the bonafide recording sensations!
GEORGE CLOONEY,
JOHN TURTURRO,
HOLLY HUNTER and
JOHN GOODMAN deliver hilarious star performances in this crowd-pleasing comedy from the makers of THE BIG LEBOWSKI and FARGO, the highly original and critically acclaimed Coen Brothers.
