Movie Info

Based on a popular Zane Grey novel, this well-wrought western centers on a plucky female rancher who incurs the wrath of the local clergy when she boldly refuses to marry a deacon. To get revenge, the town preacher and his followers begin harassing the woman and her ranch hands until a sympathetic gunslinger rides into town and decides to help her out. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Audience Reviews for Riders of the Purple Sage

Well cast, Ed Harris is usually worth watching. He always puts a lot of effort into his roles. Better than average period detail, especially for a western. Very nicely photographed, good use of location filming (in Utah). It is slowly paced, sometimes it works for the film, but at other times it just seems to drag on needlessly. Overall though, it was reasonably impressive.
