Jane Fonda is a Montana ranch owner locked in battle with her cousin (Jason Robards), a cattle baron determined to take her land. She enlists the help of a neighbour (James Caan), and together they struggle to pay off their debts and overcome the advances of big business. A tense, low-key western, set in the 1940s, and directed by Alan J. Pakula ('The Parallax View', 'The Pelican Brief').

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. In an American West just coming to terms with the end of World War II, Jane Fonda stars as a Colorado rancher struggling to keep her independence from ruthless local land mogul Ewing. Fonda teams up with another independent rancher and war veteran, Frank and Frank's partner is killed. Frank and Ella develop a romantic relationship as they battle to save Ella's land, but more than the land is at stake for Ewing. His desire to expand his ranching empire must come to terms with a force even more powerful than his own ambition, oil companies interested in taking over the ranch-land for drilling. Gordon Willis's cinematography of the Wet Mountain Valley in Colorado is breathtaking, becoming the secret star of the picture. The film includes a delightful performance by Richard Farnsworth as Dodger, an older local who is close to both Ella and the land.
