Broken Trail - DVD Recommendation

I think my husband and I have seen this Broken Trail at least 5 times. Yes, we love the writing, scenery and the acting. Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church play terrific cowboys in this western drama and love story.

We highly recommend this as a couple movie. So, add it to your Netflix list or visit your local public library.

Plot summary courtesy of Wikipedia.org
Set in 1898, the film concerns Prentice "Print" Ritter (Duvall), an aging cowboy who wants to buy a ranch of his own. To accomplish this, he agrees to transport 500 mustangs from Oregon to Wyoming, where he will sell them to the British Army. He recruits his estranged nephew, Tom Harte (Church), to join him, hoping to reconnect with him on the ride.

What starts out as a simple horse drive is complicated when Print and Tom encounter a particularly vile slaver who is transporting five Chinese girls to a lawless mining town, where they will face a life of prostitution and indentured servitude. Compelled to do the right thing, Print and Tom rescue the women and take them in, but as they continue their perilous trek across the frontier, they are tailed by a vicious gang of outlaws sent by the whorehouse madam who originally paid for the girls.
