It's 1880 Big Whisky, Wyoming. A cowboy slices up a whore's face. Sheriff Little Bill (Gene Hackman) together with greedy saloon owner agree to a fine of a few horses with not even a whipping. Strawberry Alice (Frances Fisher) is outraged, and pool together a reward for killing the two cowboys. The bounty attracts every killer around including English Bob (Richard Harris). It also attracts The Schofield Kid. He contacts William Munny (Clint Eastwood) who reunites with Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman). Together the three men travel to collect the reward.

This is a movie only Clint Eastwood could make it legendary. It is decades in the making. Essentially, he is recalling the years of playing the man with no name. It is the perfect role for him, and he's perfect for the role. Clint is seeking to ask some morality questions. Bill Munny and his crew are a bunch of law breakers. Little Bill is the law, but he doesn't have the moral high ground either. It is possibly the last great western to be made. Certainly there will never be another Clint Eastwood. That era is gone forever.
