Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Boss Spearman (Robert Duvall) and his cowhands Charley (Kevin Costner) and Mose (Abraham Benrubi) are driving cattle across a large expanse of country. When Mose ventures into a sparse village to buy a few necessities, he is met with violent hostility from Denton Baxter (Michael Gambon), an affluent landowner, and his right-hand man, Poole (James Russo). When Mose doesn't come back, Boss and Charley realize he's in trouble, so they plot to get him back and get revenge on those who captured him. Written by FilmsNow |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Originally, Touchstone Pictures had Kevin Costner top-billed over Robert Duvall, but Costner asked the studio to top-bill Duvall instead. See more » |
| Goofs | Charlie fires 16-17 rapid fires shots from one single-action, six-shot revolver - without reloading. In fact, during the first volley, he fires four random shots and then actually "fans" the revolver and fires ten additional shots into a bad-guy gunslinger in less than seven seconds, without changing weapons or re-loading. And then fires a few more rounds at still standing gun-men. Costner admitted in an interview for this film that he has always wanted to film a scene where he fans a six-gun way over the realistic amount of shots, and that this scene was indeed very enjoyable to make.

| Quotes |
Sue Barlow:
I don't have the answers, Charley. But I know that people get confused in this life about what they want, and what they've done, and what they think they should've because of it. Everything they think they are or did, takes hold so hard that it won't let them see what they can be. See more » |
