Walter Hill's classic take on the Western follows the exploits of the infamous Jesse James/Cole Younger gang, the brothers all famously played by real-life siblings the Keachs, Carradines, Quaids and Guests. In post-Civil War America this legendary band of outlaws laze a trail across the west, culminating in the infamous Northfield, Minnesota bank raid and of the most acclaimed and explosive limaxes ever committed to film. With stunning cinematography, an evocative Ry Cooder soundtrack and the inspiration drawn from John Ford to Sam Peckinpah, Walter Hill's The Long Riders is an elegiac portrait of a bygone era and one of the last great Westerns of the 20th Century.

Naturally, The Long Riders are brought out by a unique cast – the James brothers are played by the authentic brothers James and Stacy Keach, the Younger clan, in turn, by Robert, Keith and David Carradine, then we have the Miller brothers with Randy and Dennis Quaid and, finally, the brothers Ford by Nicholas and Christopher Guest. This is such a realistic set! Apart from that, it’s a relatively conventional western with a bunch of rather tough scenes. Nothing to complain about.
