Synopses & Reviews
Top-rated miniseries! Academy Award® winner Robert Duvall (1983 Best Actor in a Leading Role,
Tender Mercies) and Academy Award® nominee Thomas Hayden Church (2004 Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role,
Sideways) star in this moving Western drama.
Set in 1897, Print Ritter (Duvall) and his estranged nephew Tom Harte (Hayden Church) become the reluctant guardians of five abused and abandoned Chinese girls. Ritter and Harte's attempts to care for the girls are complicated by their responsibility to deliver a herd of horses while avoiding a group of bitter rivals, intent on kidnapping the girls for their own purposes. Classic Western action takes center stage in this dramatic miniseries!

"I don't care if the thing was originally made for cable, theatrical, network, or Quicktime. This is one of the very best films I've seen all year." Scott Weinberg, DVDTALK.COM

"A curious combination of realism and romantic idealism, but somehow it works." James Plath, DVDTOWN.COM
Review
"A great Western....If there's any justice, director Hill and producer/star Duvall will find themselves holding Emmy Awards for this superior piece of work." Chuck O'Leary, FULVUEDRIVE-IN.COM
