''O Brother, Where Art Thou?'' is a 2000 adventure comedy film written, produced, edited, and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, and starring George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson, with John Goodman, Holly Hunter, and Charles Durning in supporting roles. Set in 1937 rural Mississippi during the Great Depression, the film's story is a modern satire loosely based on Homer's epic poem, ''Odyssey''. The title of the film is a reference to the 1941 film ''Sullivan's Travels'', in which the protagonist (a director) wants to film a fictional book about the Great Depression called ''O Brother, Where Art Thou?''〔
Much of the music used in the film is period folk music, including that of Virginia bluegrass singer Ralph Stanley.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=National Public Radio )〕 The movie was one of the first to extensively use digital color correction, to give the film an autumnal, sepia-tinted look.〔 The film received positive reviews, and the American folk music soundtrack won a Grammy for Album of the Year in 2001. The original band soon became popular after the film release and the country and folk musicians who were dubbed into the film, such as John Hartford, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Chris Sharp, and others, joined together to perform the music from the film in a ''Down from the Mountain'' concert tour which was filmed for TV and DVD.〔
==Plot summary==

Three convicts, Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney), known as Everett, Pete Hogwallop (John Turturro) and Delmar O’Donnel (Tim Blake Nelson) escape from a chain gang and set out to retrieve a supposed treasure Everett buried. The three get a lift from a blind man driving a handcar on a railway. He tells them that they will find a fortune, but not the one they seek. The trio make their way to Pete’s cousin Wash’s house. They remove their chains and sleep in the barn, but Wash betrays them and they are woken by policemen led by Sheriff Cooley, who have them surrounded. The police try to smoke them out, but Wash’s son rescues them.
The group set out for the valley again. While driving past a lonely crossroads, they pick up a young black man, Tommy Johnson, who claims that he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the ability to play guitar. In need of money, the four of them make their way to a radio broadcast tower where they record a song for the radio as the Soggy Bottom Boys. Soon after this, they part ways with Tommy. Unbeknownst to them, the recording becomes a major hit.
The group is driving near a river when they hear a song. They rush down to the river, where three beautiful women are washing clothes and singing a bewitching song ("Go To Sleep Little Baby"); after drugging them with corn whiskey the men lose consciousness. The women correspond to The Sirens in The Odyssey. Upon waking, Delmar finds Pete’s clothes lying next to him, empty except for a toad. Delmar is convinced that the Sirens "loved him up" and transformed Pete into the toad. Later, one-eyed Bible salesman Daniel "Big Dan" Teague mugs them and kills the toad.
The two arrive in Everett's home town. He goes to confront his wife Penny about changing her last name and telling his daughters that he was hit by a train. He gets into a fight with Vernon T. Waldrip, his wife’s new “suitor.” After this incident, he and Delmar are in a cinema when a chain gang is marched in. Pete is part of the chain gang and warns them not to seek the treasure. Later that night, they rescue Pete from prison, and he tells them that he gave away the treasure’s location to the police. When Delmar tells Pete about the "toad" episode, Pete responds that the only thing the Sirens turned him into was to the authorities, in return for the same bounty Pete's cousin would have received. Everett then concludes he and Delmar would have shared the same fate had the Sirens returned before they left the river. Everett also reveals that there was never any treasure - it was a simply an excuse to help justify their escape. In reality he was imprisoned for practicing law without a license. Everett continues that he had just learned that his wife was planning to remarry and he had to figure out how to stop the wedding. He explains that escaping alone would have been impossible, Pete and Delmar just happened to be chained to Everett, which is why they all escaped together. Pete had just expressed remorse for betraying his friends when he told the authorities about the treasure, but now becomes outraged at this, and the two get into a fight. During the scuffle they stumble upon a Ku Klux Klan lynch mob. Tommy is being held prisoner and the Klansmen are going to hang him. The trio attempt to rescue Tommy, but Big Dan, a Klan member, reveals their identities. Chaos ensues, and the ‘Grand Wizard’ reveals himself as Homer Stokes, a candidate in the upcoming election. The trio rush Tommy away and cut the supports of a large burning cross. The cross falls on Big Dan, presumably killing him.
Everett convinces Pete, Delmar and Tommy to help him win his wife back. They sneak into a dinner that she is attending, disguised as musicians. Everett tries to convince his wife that he is 'bona fide', but she brushes him off. The group begins a performance of their radio hit. The crowd recognises them as the Soggy Bottom Boys and goes wild. Homer Stokes, on the other hand, recognizes them as the group who disgraced his mob. He shouts angrily for the music to stop. After he reveals his white supremacist views, the crowd drives him out on a rail. Pappy O’Daniel, the incumbent candidate, seizes the opportunity and endorses the Soggy Bottom Boys. Upon learning of their fugitive status, he grants them all full pardons. Penny accepts Everett, but she demands that he find her original ring if they are to be married.
The group sets out to retrieve the ring, which is at a cabin in the valley where Everett originally claimed to have hidden the treasure. When they arrive the police arrest them, and Sheriff Cooley is not convinced by their claims of receiving pardons. The valley floods and they are saved from hanging. Everett finds the ring in a desk that is floating on the new lake, and they return to town. However, when Everett presents the ring to his wife she tells him it’s the wrong one, and demands that he get her ring back.
