Warning: Spoilers
Emmett (Scott Glenn), Paden (Kevin Kline) are a couple of guys bonded over their bad luck with criminals. Emmett and Paden goes to Turley and finds Emmett's brother Jake (Kevin Costner) locked up to be hung. Mal(Danny Glover) is thrown out of town after bigoted men refuse his 'kind' in the bar. When Emmett and Paden break Jake out of jail, Mal helps to keep the posse from catching them. The four horsemen find a wagon train that's been robbed, and they set out to retrieve the money.

This is a rip roaring old fashion shoot em up western. Kevin Kline has some fun playing around. Lawrence Kasdan has renewed the western but not necessarily reinvented it. The good guys are good. The bad guys are bad. And the good guys have fun while they rewrite wrongs and battle evil.
