Open Range

In "Open Range," Kevin Costner is Charley Waite, a proud cowboy who, with his companions Boss Spearman (Duvall), Button (Luna), and Mose Harrison (Benrubi) free graze their cattle across the vast prairies of the West. The men share a friendship forged by a steadfast code of honor and by living a life unencumbered by civilization. When their wayward herd forces them near the small town of Harmonville, the cowboys encounter a corrupt sheriff (Russo) and tyrannical kingpin rancher Denton Baxter (Gambon). But life takes an unexpected turn for loner Charley when he meets the spirited Sue Barlow (Bening), a woman who embraces both his heart and his soul. Boss and Charley, however, find themselves swept into a violent showdown with Baxter and his gang. As they defend themselves and their freedoms in a monumental gun battle, these proud cowboys are also forced to confront and conquer their own internal demons. Based on the novel "The Open Range" by Lauran Paine.
