Love a good western and this is one of my favorites.Seemingly a tribute to all the best elements of westerns, Lawrence Kasdan (director) cowrote with Mark Kasdan and got it right.
Amazing cast including Scott Glenn, Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, Brian Dennehy, Linda Hunt, Jeff Goldblum...even John Cleese.
On his way west, Glenn meets up with Kline, breaks his brother (Costner) out of jail ("All is did was kiss the girl!") and the three team up with Glover to fight bad guys.
It is said that Costner was given his role as Jake by Kasdan to make up for the fact that he was cut out of The Big Chill. Actually, this is one of Costner's best performances.
Great musical score, scenery, characters, some humor, and the Wild West...who could ask for more?
