About this movie

Sam Elliot and Katharine Ross star in a sweeping, epic Western based on a novel by Louis L'Amour. Evie Teale (Ross) travels with her husband and children to the remote, isolated West to homestead a ranch, but her husband soon dies in an accident far from home, leaving Evie and the children to fend for themselves far from civilization--not knowing if her husband is dead or alive. Gradually, her life intertwines with a cowboy named Conagher (Elliot), whose growing affection for Evie clashes with his need to travel the wide-open spaces.

Ratings and reviews

Great western that came in a time when westerns had been forgotten and until recently I hadn't thought of this movie since I first saw it at the theater. It's Sam Elliot as his best in a movie about the old west (one without fast draws and trick shooting), with a lonely cowboy who dreams of romance while standing up for what is right. And that ending is one of a kind.

This movie is absolutely a masterpiece of cinema&western history.it should be considered a classic.and it should recieve oscar's 4ever lol....

One of the best westerns made.
