The Name Is Legendary. The Man Is Real.

Western

Biopic about famous gunslinger Wild Bill Hickock. The early career of legendary lawman is telescoped and culminates in his relocation in Deadwood and a reunion with Calamity Jane.

VIBE

A dusty, elegiac portrait of a legend confronting his own mortality. It feels like the end of an era, steeped in regret and the quiet hum of opium dens. A somber, reflective journey into a fading myth.
