Emmett, a quiet loner, saves Paden from sure death in the desert, where a band of outlaws had abandoned him. They then befriend Mal, a black cowboy who was denied service at a saloon, and all three move on to rescue Emmett's hot-headed brother from being hanged. The quartet finally reach their destination, Silverado, where they must make a stand against the corrupt sheriff and the band of murderous ranchers who have dogged them their entire journey. [More]

Reviews for Silverado
A good movie, although it's sometimes too antiseptic for what a Western should be. There's some great shoot-out scenes.
By the time the credits roll, we’ve had a whirlwind tour of virtually everything you can do in a Western.
This is a story, you will agree, that has been told before. What distinguishes Kasdan's telling of it is the style and energy he brings to the project.
