The director Walter Hill single highhandedly tried to keep the Western film alive long after the genre died out. This is his version of the Jesse James/Cole Younger saga. As with just about every film Hill was involved in the story has his usual meticulous care with the story and the staging of the action elements.
The big news in this film was the casting of the James/Younger gang with actors who were all brothers in real life. Consequently you get the Carradine brothers, the Keach brothers, the Quaid brothers and the Guest brothers as the famous (notorious) outlaw gang.
The Keach brothers were the primary instigators of the film. They produced and developed the story.
The Keach brothers also take a writing credit along with Bill Bryden and Steven Phillip Smith. The film runs 99 minutes.
