Some legends will never be forgotten. Some wrongs can never be forgiven. A retired gunman reluctantly returns for one final bounty in Clint Eastwood’s beautifully raw western masterpiece. Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and Richard Harris co-star, with a script by David Webb Peoples. Eastwood’s award-winning return to the western genre cleaned up at the Oscars, taking home statues for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Hackman), and Best Editing.
“The Western is back. With a vengeance. Saddle up or get out of the way.” – Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
