Butcher's Crossing [DVD]

The year is 1874, and young college dropout Will Andrews is looking for an adventure in the American West, hiring Miller, a mysterious and experienced hunter, to lead a bison hunt in the Colorado wilderness in search of a mythical herd. Little does Will realize that the journey will put his life and sanity in danger as the fiercely determined buffalo hunter drives the party relentlessly through the unforgiving Rocky Mountains... An epic adventure, based on the groundbreaking novel by John Edward Williams, and spectacularly staged with acting giant Nicolas Cage in a maniacal role made for him and Netflix regular Fred Hechinger. This atmospheric western depicts a gripping and largely untold chapter of US history and is a riveting commentary on obsession, masculinity and man's relationship with his natural environment.
