1883 isn’t exactly a fun road trip. But that seems to be the point. It’s a grim reminder that the wagon-worn, horse-beaten trails leading to supposed freedom are not just littered with abandoned supplies, outlaws, or even the bones of the unlucky. They’re also littered with big questions about the costs and benefits of westward expansion. The Old West gets the Taylor Sheridan treatment in a harrowing yarn of survival, justice and freedom.
A gritty, bone-smashing, beautiful and brilliant contemporary Western.
