The Plot…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The year is 1880.\u00a0 Will Munny is having a hard go of it.\u00a0 His wife died three years ago leaving Will to raise two young children on his own.\u00a0 At one time Will was a dangerous man. An outlaw. He made his living with his gun. Will did many things that he’s not proud of.\u00a0 But he changed all that for his wife. Will gave up the drinking and evil ways to become a farmer.\u00a0 He’s nowhere near as good with a plow as he was with a gun.<\/p>\n

One day a young man shows up.\u00a0 He calls himself The Schofield Kid<\/em>.\u00a0 He claims to be an experienced bounty hunter.\u00a0 The Kid says that he’s after a $1,000 bounty and could use some help.\u00a0 He knows Munny’s reputation with a gun. Says he’ll split the bounty 50-50.\u00a0 All they need to do is ride to Big Whiskey and bring in a couple of cowboys.<\/p>\n

Will initially turns down the offer.\u00a0 Then realizes that he’s not making it as a farmer.\u00a0 His share of the bounty would go a long way in providing for his kids. But Will’s older now and hasn’t fired a gun in years.\u00a0 So Will recruits his old crime partner, Ned Logan to join in.\u00a0 Ned is older now.\u00a0 He too gave up the life and settled down… but the chance to ride with Will again (and his share of the bounty) is enough to get him on board.<\/p>\n

Will, Ned and The Schofield Kid<\/em> ride for Big Whiskey.\u00a0 Little do they know that their biggest problem won’t be earning the bounty.\u00a0 Big Whiskey is run by a crooked, sadistic Sheriff named\u00a0“Little Bill”<\/em> Daggett.\u00a0 When Will, Ned and the Kid find themselves on the wrong side of Sheriff Daggett, it becomes clear they’re overmatched.<\/p>\n

And it is too late to just ride away.<\/p>\n
