About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
Farmer Frank and his ward hunt brother Jesse's killers, the back-shooting Fords.
A quiet, simmering intensity drives this tale of a man seeking vengeance against the notorious Ford gang. The film trades typical outlaw swagger for a grounded, somber look at a farmer forced back into a violent past.
