A herd of cattle against a herd of cannon!

In 1864, during the American Civil War, Mexican cattleman Alvarez Kelly supplies the Union with cattle until unexpected circumstances force him to change his customers.

VIBE

A grim, dusty Western that captures the moral ambiguity of war. It feels like a weary trek through the mud and blood of the Civil War, focusing on the harsh realities faced by those caught in the conflict.
