About

You can stream The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018) on Netflix with a subscription.

Vignettes weaving together the stories of six individuals in the old West at the end of the Civil War. Following the tales of a sharp-shooting songster, a wannabe bank robber, two weary traveling performers, a lone gold prospector, a woman traveling the West to an uncertain future, and a motley crew of strangers undertaking a carriage ride.

Six disparate lives collide in a series of sharp, darkly comedic snapshots that capture the absurdity and cruelty of the American frontier. This anthology skips between singing sharpshooters and desperate prospectors to find the strange poetry hidden in a lawless landscape.
