Screen legends Lee Marvin (Prime Cut), Jack Palance (Ten Seconds to Hell) and Jeanne Moreau (Viva Maria!) star in this gripping saga that covers the tumultuous final days of the Old West. Facing a changing landscape where barbed wire and railways replace the freedom of the open range, Monte Walsh (Marvin) and his fellow cowboys consider new work opportunities, toy with the idea of settling down, and draw their pistols for one last showdown. Forty years after it's original theatrical debut, the unbridled spirit of the American frontier rides again. Cinematographer William A. Fraker (A Reflection of Fear) wonderfully directs this realistic western featuring a stellar supporting cast that includes Mitchell Ryan, Jim Davis, G.D. Spradlin, Michael Conrad and Bo Hopkins.
