It's set in the 1930s, I think, and these 3 guys escape from their chain gang and set off to find this bunch of money Everett, played by George Clooney, has hidden away. It's very loosely based on Homer's "The Odyssey". The IMDB page, since I'm not very good at explaining things, lol: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0190590/
