Three prisoners, because they were handcuffed and shackled together, one of the buddies who wanted to escape from the prison made up a story that he had hidden treasure outside before entering the prison, and because he was about to build a reservoir, the treasure would be submerged, and he was willing to join the two prisoners. Friends share the story of the treasure, and even the three people who coax and deceive Huyou escape from prison together. In the process of escaping the prison, the situation is full of situations. While avoiding the pursuit of the law enforcement officer, on the other hand, he encounters various characters one after another, and there are various stories and jokes. It should be said that this is a good road movie, and it combines elements of comedy and some elements of musicals, making the whole movie look very comfortable. According to reports, this is adapted from Homer's epic "The Odyssey". In fact, I personally feel that it is only the same as Homer's epic in a large frame. Of course, you can also point out that every character in the movie is in the "Odyssey". The corresponding character in the book, but I still feel that this is an independent work, which belongs to the Coen brothers' own work, and it is true that there is a shadow of "Odyssey" in it. The most comfortable part of the film is not the scenes that were common in previous road movies. This film is full of all kinds of downturns in the era of the Great Depression in the United States, and even the beautiful scenery is difficult to integrate into it. The songs the three buddies play, and the songs they sing there from time to time by all kinds of quirky characters, add a lot to the movie's uniqueness. There are also songs and dances at every turn. Some Indian movies sing and dance purely for the sake of singing and dancing. "Three Kings from Prison Escape" uses songs to show many different connotations and also push the plot forward.

Pete: I've always wondered, what's the devil look like?
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, there are all manner of lesser imps and demons, Pete, but the great Satan hisself is red and scaly with a bifurcated tail, and he carries a hay fork.
Tommy Johnson: Oh, no. No, sir. He's white, as white as you folks, with empty eyes and a big hollow voice. He likes to travel around with a mean old hound. That's right.

Tommy Johnson: I had to be up at that there crossroads last midnight, to sell my soul to the devil.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, ain't it a small world, spiritually speaking. Pete and Delmar just been baptized and saved. I guess I'm the only one that remains unaffiliated.
