“THE REAL, TRUE STORY OF THE WEST!”
Western
Chicago hotel clerk Frank Harris dreams of life as a cowboy, and he gets his chance when, jilted by the father of the woman he loves, he joins Tom Reece and his cattle-driving outfit. Soon, though, the tenderfoot finds out life on the range is neither what he expected nor what he's been looking for...
VIBE
A stark, unsentimental look at the harsh realities of the West, trading romanticism for a profound sense of isolation and the quiet dignity of survival. It feels like dust and sweat.
