WesternComedy

Outlaw and self-appointed lawmaker, Judge Roy Bean, rules over an empty stretch of the West that gradually grows, under his iron fist, into a thriving town, while dispensing his his own quirky brand of frontier justice upon strangers passing by.

VIBE

A boisterous, anachronistic romp through the Old West. It's a revisionist western that revels in its own absurdity, offering a wry and often hilarious take on frontier justice and the wild, untamed spirit of individualism.
