Fresh out of prison, smooth-talking petty thief Jesus Quintana (John Turturro, reprising his iconic Big Lebowski character) is ready to roll with his best friend Petey riding shotgun. But first they need some wheels. A vintage muscle car parked in front of an upscale salon catches Jesus’s eye and the pair embark on a no-holds-barred joyride — until the car’s indignant owner catches up with them, wounding Petey. Fleeing the scene with fiercely free spirited hairdresser Marie in tow, Jesus and Petey continue their road trip in a series of stolen cars, cementing their partnership with an epic petty crime spree and a three-way romance.
Along the way, they visit Jesus’s prostitute mother, hide out in a posh beach house, go bowling, and hunker down in a cabin in the woods. A darkly funny, boundary-breaking tour of rural New York’s backroads, The Jesus Rolls is written and directed by Turturro.
