Taut! Torrid! Tremendous! T Is for Terror!

Western

A pair of newlyweds, a ranch foreman, and their stagecoach driver are held up by a trio of outlaws who kidnap the woman after learning that she is heir to a rich man.

VIBE

A lean, mean, and surprisingly witty Western where desperation and greed collide. It feels like a dusty, sun-baked showdown where every character is playing a dangerous game of chance.
