The four sons of Katie Elder reunite in their hometown of Clearwater, Texas for her funeral and discover that the family ranch is now in the hands of Morgan Hastings, a corrupt businessman who wants to exploit the area around the town.

VIBE

A somber, dusty Western where brothers reunite to reclaim their birthright. It's a slow burn of simmering resentment and quiet determination, steeped in the melancholic beauty of the frontier and the enduring bonds of family.
