Academy-Award® winning director Kevin Costner ("Dances with
Wolves") helms this traditional Western tale of a way of life that is quickly
disappearing.
Boss Spearman (ROBERT DUVALL), Charley Waite (KEVIN COSTNER), Mose
Harrison (ABRAHAM BENRUBI) and "Button" (DIEGO LUNA) freegraze their cattle
across the vast prairies of the West, sharing a friendship forged by a steadfast
code of honor and living a life unencumbered by civilization. When their wayward
herd forces them near the small town of Harmonville, the cowboys encounter a
corrupt Sheriff (JAMES RUSSO) and kingpin rancher (MICHAEL GAMBON) who govern
the territory through fear, tyranny and violence.
Boss and Charley find
themselves inextricably drawn towards the inevitable showdown as they are forced
to defend the freedom and values of a lifestyle that is all too quickly
vanishing. Amidst this turmoil, life suddenly takes an unexpected turn for loner
Charley when he meets the beautiful and warm-spirited Sue Barlow (ANNETTE
BENING), a woman who embraces both his heart and his soul.
As these courageous
men prepare for the decisive battle that looms, they are also forced to confront
and conquer their own internal demons. -- © Touchstone
