WesternAction

Three teenage farm boys stumble upon Harry Spikes, a local bandit wounded in a gun battle. While Harry is recuperating, he regales the young men with stories of his exciting past. The adventurous tales inspire them to start a gang of their own. Failing at their first attempt to rob a bank, the boys convince the gruff Spikes to teach them the ways of the desperado.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching look at youthful rebellion turning into a desperate flight from the law. It's a gritty, character-driven western that captures the dangerous allure of the outlaw life and the inevitable consequences.
