“Satisfying, beautifully paced and intelligently worked-out. It excites in the way that movies used to.”

Jesse James and his gang of outlaws ride again in this “extraordinary” (Los Angels Herald-Examiner) western that pulsates with hard-driving action and electrifying drama. Four sets of acclaimed actor brothers – Dennis and Randy Quaid, Stacy and James Keach, Christopher and Nicholas Guest and Keith, Robert and David Carradine – each depict real-life siblings in emotionally charged portrayals of the Old West’s legendary bandits.

The notorious James-Younger gang is the most famous group of outlaws in the country, robbing banks, trains and stagecoaches with a sense of daring that makes them folk heroes throughout the land. But when the mighty Pinkerton detective agency swears to track them down, the criminals must face an awesome enemy that will stop at nothing to see them behind bars… or dead! Only through the strength of their loyalty and blood ties can the outlaws hope to survive the brutal pursuits, unexpected betrayals and blistering showdowns that mark the end of their dangerous ride.

Packed with riveting action sequences, this powerful, hoof-pounding adventure is “the best-directed American movie of the year” (New York) and “the best western in many years”!
