Movie Info

Francis Ford Coppola protégé Phillip Borsos directs this elegiac, low-key tale about real-life bandit Bill Miner that has become a classic of Canadian cinema. Having been released from jail in 1901 following a 33-year prison sentence for robbing stagecoaches, Bill Miner (Richard Farnsworth) finds himself living in a society that has completely changed from the one of his youth. He tries to put his life of crime behind him and settle down in Washington state with his sister, but the quiet life

One of the best films of the 1980s and one of the greatest films to come out of Canada.

Richard Farnsworth emanates roguish strength and independence as a legendary train robber.

Richard Farnsworth's career finds elegant summation in this breezy laid-back Western.

Outstanding, understated Western; great performance by Farnsworth as an outlaw whose time has passed.

Finally saw it thanks to TIFF's recent 30th anniversary airing. Unfortunately what could be Canada's greatest film is caught up on a poor distribution deal and hadn't been aired in decades. Despite damage to the original film, this one sparkles particularly due to the performances. Farnsworth steals the show as the train robber that we want to see succeed.
