In 1878 New Mexico, rancher John Tunstall (Terence Stamp) hires young gunmen to work on his property while teaching them to read and civilize themselves. When men working for rival rancher Lawrence Murphy (Jack Palance) shoot and kill Tunstall, the young gunmen take the law into their hands and soon earn monikers such as "Billy the Kid" (Emilio Estevez). Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Charlie Sheen and Dermot Mulroney also star.

By the end of the 80's the wheels began to fall off the whole Brat Pack group. After exhausting all the other genres they could, it seemed logical that a western was next. But what a terrible idea. Bad history, creaky plot and "lets make a soundbite" dialog make this thankfully the last of the ensemble cast. They would all go off to do better solo work or disappear into obscurity... Sometimes justifiably.

A movie that played to the theme of being true to your friends that came out at just the right time in my teenage years to make this not just a great movie to watch but a complete nostalgia trip down a happy memory lane.

Best movie with Estevez, Sheen and more. Action, humour, everything! Not sure on £7.99 for SD though :/
