The 3rd in Robert Duvall's old codger western film series, preceded by Lonesome Dove and Open Range. If Duvall is still playing Gus McCrae from Lonesome Dove, he plays the character very well.
The story is about two cowboys driving a herd of horses up to Canada for sale to the British Army. Along the way the rescue 5 Chinese girls who have been sold into prostitution The remainder of the mini series is about their encounters with a tough gang of outlaws determined to get the girls back.
The film was directed by Walter Hill who is probably one of the few remaining filmmakers to have a real feeling for the old west. The film was shot on beautiful Alberta Canada locations. This is an example of a high quality television product made by very talented people.
