In 1876 Wyoming, the gun is the only law. And for Duncan and Susanna McKaskel (Tom Conti and Kate Capshaw), newly arrived settlers beset by outlaws, rugged frontiersman Con Vallian (Sam Elliott) is the only hope. From the ... more »book by famed Western author Louis L'Amour, THE QUICK AND THE DEAD is a rousing adventure.

Sam Elliott and Kate Capshaw make a great combo in this one.

Oh here is your classic Sam Elliott right out of the Sam Elliott text book. A Very real Western. One honorable man in a town full of amoral dirtballs.

This is NOT the Gene Hackman western by the same name. This is MUCH BETTER.
It's a western drama starring Sam Elliot who is one of the best western actors ever in my opinion. Throw him into a Great Story and it is a very enjoyable story;western or otherwise.
It is a character study of Same Elliot's character(a frontier wise halfbreed) and the naive family he helps through desperate times. One of my favorite westerns ever.
