Product Description:
A MYSTERIOUS STRANGER RIDES INTO A HOMESTEADING FAMILY'S LIFE WHEN THEY ARE ATTACKED BY A RUTHLESS GANG.
Amazon.com:
Not to be confused with Sam Raimi's flamboyantly stylized Western of the same name, this made-for-cable adaptation of the Louis L'Amour novel is a lean, taut pioneer adventure set in the wilderness of the northern Midwest. Sam Elliott, sporting his trademark bushy mustache and eyebrows so thick they keep the rains off his face, stars as the mountain man and tracker Con Vallian. Tom Conti is Scottish storekeeper Duncan McKaskel bringing his wife Susanna (Kate Capshaw) and son from Pennsylvania to a homestead in Wyoming. When a scraggly gang (led by the wonderfully sleazy Matt Clark) marks the family as an easy target, Vallian makes himself their gruff guardian angel, partly out of attraction to Susanna ("You're a handsome woman," he likes to repeat). Pride, jealousy, and rivalry make Duncan and Vallian uneasy allies and Conti's musical lilt is a marvelous contrast to Elliot's gravely drawl. Capshaw is somewhat colorless but comes to life in a surprising explosion of angry violence. The beautiful landscape culminates in a stunning meadow where the homesteaders find their cabin, a location that must be the closest thing to heaven on Earth, but for the devils still on their trail. --Sean Axmaker

Rating: - Hondo/Shane is an Honorable Cuss
The difference between Hondo and Con Vallian is that Vallian doesn't have a dog. Otherwise, they're both soft-talkin' straight-shootin' half-breeds who live outdoors but who like women. The mysterious stranger who appears in the nick of time is also kin to Shane, who is not only appealing to the Woman, but her small son. Also, akin to the plot of Shane,the husband is a real man...he's just outnumbered. A gang of theives has their eye on the "pilgrims," their horses, and the comely Mrs. McCaskell ... Read More
