This film was last shown on 6 May 2015

This ambitious film is loosely based on the Johnson county war in 1890s Wyoming and the conflict between poor immigrant settlers and rich cattle barons. In many ways Cimino’s film is seen as an anti-western taking a revisionist approach to American history.

Showing as part of our Film Studies term "A Wagon to Washington: American Society and Political Westerns". Tickets are also available for individual films.
