"Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" draws inspiration from Homer's "The Odyssey" by depicting a modern-day adaptation of the epic tale. The film follows three escaped convicts on a journey filled with obstacles, similar to Odysseus and his companions facing challenges on their return home. Both stories feature themes of heroism, deception, and the quest for redemption.
