SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Another dusty, elegiac revisionist Western that treats famous outlaws as worn, morally complicated men caught between old loyalties and an increasingly organized modern order.
02
Why this pick
Its offbeat frontier texture, uneasy humor and shifting power between rustlers, landowners and hired lawmen echo Kaufman’s skeptical view of Western legend.
03
Why this pick
A deliberately unglamorous outlaw story with period grime, youthful bravado and a relaxed, character-first approach to violence and survival.
04
Why this pick
Shares the tactile 1870s authenticity and anti-romantic spirit: the West feels harsh, communal and lived-in rather than mythically heroic.
05
Why this pick
For the same preference for historical texture over clean-cut heroics: a melancholy, rough-edged frontier world shaped by fragile alliances and encroaching commerce.

01 / THE STORY
In the mid-1870s, outlaws Jesse James, Cole Younger and their brothers are granted amnesty by the Missouri legislature, sympathetic to the troubles created for all citizens by the American Civil War. The bankers victimized by the James and Younger gangs are vehemently opposed to this action and hire a Pinkerton National Detective Agency agent to follow the outlaws' every move.
