A former gunslinger riding with a free-grazing cattle crew is pulled back toward violence when the men cross into a Montana town under the thumb of a crooked sheriff and a powerful ranch boss. Robert Duvall is Boss Spearman, the seasoned cattleman trying to keep his outfit moving, while Kevin Costner’s Charley Waite carries a quieter, more dangerous past. As pressure builds around the herd and the town closes ranks, Charley finds an uneasy connection with local doctor Sue Barlow (Annette Bening). The story turns a simple cattle drive into a range war over land, authority, and the cost of picking up a gun again.
