The True Story of Jesse James
“The real story… really told for the first time!”
ActionWestern
Having fought with the Confederacy during the Civil War, Jesse James and his brother Frank dream of a farm life in Missouri. Harassed by Union sympathizers, they assemble a gang of outlaws, robbing trains and becoming folk heroes in the process. Jesse marries his sweetheart, Zee, and maintains an aura of domesticity, but after a group of lawmen launch an attack on his mother's house, Jesse plans one more great raid -- on a Minnesota bank.
VIBE
A sweeping, mythic Western that captures the raw, violent legend of an American outlaw. It feels like a dusty, sun-baked tale of rebellion and consequence, where heroism and tragedy ride side-by-side through the frontier.
