Movie Info

Tumbleweeds marked silent-screen cowboy legend William S. Hart's return to the screen after a long absence, and it was also his swan song, as Hart's brand of individualism and moody morality gave way to the more action-oriented films of Tom Mix and the epic westerns of The Covered Wagon and The Iron Horse. Tumbleweeds takes place in 1899 when the Cherokee Strip was opened up to homesteaders. When that happens, Don Carver (Hart), the range boss for the Box K Ranch, finds himself out of work.

Touching look at tough mom-daughter relationship.

The film is remarkable for several reasons, foremost among them the awe-inspiring spectacle of greed in action that is the land rush.

Superior western and a key film in Hart's filmography.

... more realistic portrayals remain more in tune with modern day anti-heroes than the more popular cowboy heroes that appeared on screen before the advent of John Wayne

A grandious Western brilliant directed and it feels like you were real in the Wild West my Favourite Scenes are the Land Rush Scene, the Scene with the Giant Cattle Herd, when the Hero dunk the Villain underwater and when the Hero catch his Sidekick with the Lasso the Main Actor William S. Hart is a great Old Fashioned Hero
