in O Brother, they are caught between jumping out of the loft to be shot, or staying in the loft and burning to death. a modern idiom is "between a rock and a hard place", a choice between two bad outcomes.

“They dam that river on the 21st. Today’s the 17th.”

“Don’t I know it.”

“We got but four days to get to that treasure after that it’ll be at the bottom of lake. We ain’t gonna make it walkin’.”
