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. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
An extremely melancholic, sad and moving western, but by no means as boring as some users write here. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you're in the mood for a quieter nostalgia for the (good) old days, a story of friendship and love with excellent actors and a bombastic score by John Barry, who may not have done many cowboys, but when he did do them (Dances with Wolves, The Legend of the Lone Ranger, The White Buffalo), it was worth it.
