In the late 1800s, the Breslin family is traveling west to start a new life and get some land. Unfortunately, when Mr. Breslin goes into a really craptastic town along the way, he's murdered by some local scum...and no one in the town seems to care. Most of the Breslins are for pushing west and fulfilling Mr. Breslin's dream...but what if the killers return?
The film has a huge problem....it's hard to like many of the main characters. In particular, the Breslin daughter is inexplicably nasty and selfish...to the point where she's very off-putting. The same can be said about another family the Breslins encounter...they just aren't that nice and rooting for the two families to work together to protect their land is tough.
It's a shame, as the basic idea of the story is interesting and could have been much better. With a bit of a polish on the script, it might have worked well...but it didn't.
