The Mountain Men
AdventureWestern
The story concerns two grizzled mountain men -- Bill Tyler and Henry Frapp -- during the dying days of the fur-trapping era. The plot begins when Running Moon runs away from her abusive husband Heavy Eagle and comes across the two seedy fur trappers. The mountain men take her in, unaware that Heavy Eagle has dispatched an army of Indian braves to reclaim her.
VIBE
A harsh, unforgiving look at the twilight of the fur trade. It feels like the biting wind of the Rockies, a lonely, brutal existence where survival is the only law.
