When Confederate soldier, Paul Cable returns from the Civil War, he finds his wife Martha is estranged, his youngest daughter has died, and Union sympathizers are living on his Arizona ranch. But his biggest fight is yet to come.

Based on the novel by bestselling author, Elmore Leonard! It is near the end of the Civil War. After several years away from home and no contact with his family, Confederate soldier, Paul Cable returns home to Texas, but a warm welcome is far from what he receives.

His wife, Martha , a tough, independent frontier woman, had been told he was killed in action, and though she resumes her duties as his wife, seeing him, rekindles the anger and resentment she felt all those years before, when he first left to join the rebel cause. Though her father advises her to put these hurtful grudges aside, her heart is hardened. She reprimands her cowhands, but at the same time learns that Paul Cable is back to reclaim his land.

Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Trivia This was Harry Carey Jr. Goofs Paul Cable uses a Richards conversion of the Colt Army revolver, and is shown shooting and reloading the revolver with cartridges. The story is set in at the close of the US Civil War, but the Richards conversion was not introduced until However, while factory made cartridge conversions may not have been readily available until this time, the movie takes efforts to address this by having Paul Cable's wife and father-in-law working on cartridge converted pistols in their workshop.

This occurs early in the movie, with Cable's wife telling a young cowboy about the modifications that had been made to his Colt percussion revolver, which includes a cartridge converted cylinder and ejector rod. An allusion is also made to the fact that Cable's wife had done similar work on Cable's own revolver.

Top review. Although made for television, this is an excellent western; far better than the usual fair one finds on the tube. No doubt about it: Tom Selleck makes a Hell of a cowboy! The plot has been described in previous reviews so there is little point in repeating what has already been said.

Haley Joel Osmet was also fine in a relatively minor but important part and Rachel Duncan was marvelous as Cable's daughter Clare watching her ride side by side with Selleck on a horse drive mimicking his actions is great fun. I have to also mention western character actor extraordinaire' Harry Carey, Jr.

In a sense this is an anti-war movie as it certainly does not glorify the Civil War or the War for the Southern Confederacy. This atrocity was committed during the battle of Petersburg if my memory serves me correctly at a fight called "The Crater". The confederate gun runner offered a accurate statement when he said that war changes men and that it makes those who survive killers.

Afterall war is simply murder wrapped in a flag. Calling Vern a bad guy is hardly accurate and frankly, this is a movie with no quintessential bad guys with the possible exception of David Dukes as Edward Janroe. Janroe, an ardent Confederate nationalist, however is far more of a tragic figure having lost the use of his right arm in the war and remaining extremely bitter as a result.

Janroe said he fought in Virginia with Kirby Smith. Although Smith is better known for his leadership in the Transmississippian Department after , he did in fact fight in Virginia during Smith was the last Confederate general to surrender in May The ending of the war in favor of the north seems to have caused Janroe to lose his senses In sum, this movie has enough action to keep it exciting but it is honestly a human interest movie about how war effects those who participate in it and those left behind.

It never drags and the 96 minute duration passes by all too quickly. Details Edit.
