O BROTHER, Where Art Thou? (2000)

This 1930's southern odyssey adventure tells the tale of three petty criminal convicts, Everett, Pete and Delmar who escape from their Mississippi chain gang, to seek a supposed treasure that Everett buried in a valley, scheduled to be flooded by the new state dam. They face both good and bad delays, distracting, sometimes dangerous temptations and some nasty foes along the way to their personal discovery of true, life changing treasure, more valuable than any stolen heist money.

Screenplay and Direction - by the Joel and Ethan Cohen - Based on Homer's poem, The Iliad and the Odyssey. Wonderful soundtrack has around 19 songs; old-time gospel and country music and African-American spirituals.
