Movie Info

Determined single woman Ella Connors (Jane Fonda) struggles to maintain her ranch despite constant attempts by Jacob "J.W." Ewing (Jason Robards), the aging owner of the neighboring ranch, to coerce her into selling. When oil companies begin pressuring both ranchers to allow drilling, Ella's position becomes even more perilous. Though Ella thinks she's scrappy enough to fight them on her own, her chances get better with the arrival of hunky war veteran Frank "Buck" Athearn (James Caan).

Audience Reviews for Comes a Horseman

  • Jan 13, 2010
    (1978Director: Alan J. Pakula) Even Mark Harmon starred in this movie. Jane Fonda sans makeup stars as the daughter of a cattleman who is the target of a very evil land magnate played by Jason Robards.<div style="width:1008px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/photos/comes-a-horseman-12300421"><img src="http://content7.flixster.com/photo/12/30/04/12300421_gal.jpg" border="0"/></a><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com">Flixster</a> - Share Movies</div></div> James Caan comes onto the scene in the nick of time for Ella Connors (Jane Fonda). In searching the movieographies of some of these fine actors I realized that I have alot of movie watching to catch up on!
