Set in 1854 in the harsh Nebraska frontier, a low-life drifter George Briggs (Oscar-Winner Tommy Lee Jones) is rescued by a pious, independent-minded woman named Mary Bee Cuddy (Oscar-Winner Hilary Swank). To pay back his debt, George reluctantly agrees to help Mary transport three women driven mad by the harsh frontier life across the treacherous land – where a kindly minister’s wife (Meryl Streep) has offered them hospice. The unlikely pair soon realizes just how daunting the journey will be and the group must traverse the vast Nebraska Territories, which are marked by stark beauty, psychological peril and constant danger. Directed, co-written & starring Tommy Lee Jones – based on the award-winning novel by acclaimed author Glendon Swarthout.

Watched it on an airplane because of a great cast. In my opinion, this is one of those movies that doesn't teach you anything, and just shows how awful a life can be sometimes. Actors' performance is mediocre.

Something went totally wrong with this movie and it makes no sense. it's as if the director ran out of ideas and didn't know how to end this movie. I'm very disappointed, Tommy Lee Jones is a great actor, I don't think he cuts it as a director.

I'm pretty picky when it comes to westerns, as there really isn't any new decent ones anymore. I'm a fan of Tommy Lee Jones so I'd thought I'd give this a try. The acting was Ok but the story wasnt very well written.
