'Mud' is a timeless adventure about two boys, Ellis and his friend Neckbone, who find a mysterious outlaw named Mud (Matthew McConaughey) hiding out on a deserted island in the Mississippi River. Mud tells the boys fantastic stories, including how he had to kill a man to save his true love Juniper (Reece Witherspoon), and that the man’s family has been chasing him ever since.
Sceptical but intrigued, Ellis and Neckbone agree to help reunite Mud with Juniper, and soon Mud’s tall tales come to life when their small town is besieged by bounty hunters out for blood.
