Director: Kevin Costner
Cast: Kevin Costner, Robert Duvall, Annette Bening, Michael Gambon

A group of cowboys want to go about their business in a peaceful way but end up in a confrontation with the local landowner. Kevin Costner's second western behind the camera is reminiscent of Unforgiven, the films share a protagonist who unsuccessfully tries to put his violent past behind him. A solid and moody genre piece.
