La Ballata di Buster Scruggs è un film antologico western che racconta sei storie distinte, ambientate sulla selvaggia frontiera americana, e narrate attraverso la voce unica e incomparabile dei fratelli Joel ed Ethan Coen. I sei capitoli attraversano il vecchio West, portando in scena diversi personaggi con rimandi ai momenti salienti del genere western. Si va dal cantautore al rapinatore di banche, dall'artista itinerante al cercatore d'oro, dalle promesse d'amore alla diligenza nella prateria, il tutto contornato da una più o meno massiccia dose - a seconda dei casi - di humor e ironia sulla vita.
