Director Wim Wenders' homage to John Ford. This story and screenplay by Sam Shepard holds your interest with unanswered questions being answered. Shepard plays Howard Spense, a washed up actor that once was one of Hollywood's hottest. He rides off the set of his latest western movie in progress and decides to hide out for while at the home of his mother(Eva Marie Saint). Seeing his mother for the first time in 30 years, Spense is told he may be the father of a grown son(Gabriel Mann), who is living as a singer in a small town in Montana, where the much younger Spense once had a relationship with a winsome waitress(Jessica Lange). Hot on Spense's trail is an insurance agent(Tim Roth) representing the film company. If this is not enough, a young woman(Sarah Polley)with her dead mother's ashes in tow also has a questionable interest in the former cowboy star that just wants to be left alone.
