Larry Charles (Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm) directs an all-star cast in this allegorical story about the death agonies of one America and a chilling prophecy about the birth of a new one. In a fictional America caught up in a civil war that is tearing the nation apart, a benefit concert is being organized. A traveling troubadour named Jack Fate (Bob Dylan) is sprung from jail by his scheming former manager, Uncle Sweetheart (John Goodman), and his brassy partner, Nina Veronica (Jessica Lange), to headline a concert with unprecedented expectations: to bring peace to a country entrenched in chaos, lawlessness and pandemonium. With Jeff Bridges as rock journalist Tom Friend and Penelope Cruz his religious fanatic girlfriend Pagan Lace.
