Down by Law (1986)
Two down-on-their-luck men—a pimp and a disc jockey—are framed and land in a Louisiana parish prison. Their bleak routine is interrupted by the arrival of an eccentric Italian tourist who speaks in broken English and optimistic proverbs. The trio eventually orchestrate an escape into the surrounding bayous, embarking on an odd and meandering journey through the American South.
