Buzzards Gotta Eat\, Same as Worms.”\nThe Outlaw Josey Wales\nA Gritty Tale of Vengeance\, Redemption\, and the Relentless Spirit of the American West \nClint Eastwood directs and stars in one of the most iconic Westerns of all time—The Outlaw Josey Wales. Set in the chaotic aftermath of the American Civil War\, the film follows Josey Wales\, a Missouri farmer whose life is shattered when Union raiders kill his family. Driven by grief and vengeance\, Josey joins a Confederate guerrilla unit—but when the war ends\, he refuses to surrender and becomes a marked man\, branded an outlaw by a country eager to forget its sins. \nAs Josey flees across the untamed West\, he picks up a ragtag band of outcasts and misfits: a feisty Cherokee warrior\, a wisecracking old woman\, a young Navajo girl\, and a genteel pioneer woman searching for peace. Together\, they form an unlikely family\, standing against bounty hunters\, corrupt soldiers\, and their own haunted pasts. \nWith unforgettable lines\, stunning cinematography\, and a deeply human story of survival and honor\, The Outlaw Josey Wales blends Eastwood’s raw charisma with an unflinching look at the price of war and the resilience of the human spirit. \n“A masterwork of the Western genre… powerful\, poetic\, and deeply personal.”– The New York Times \nFilm Details\n\n\nDirected by: Clint Eastwood \n\n\nStarring: Clint Eastwood\, Chief Dan George\, Sondra Locke\, Bill McKinney \n\n\nReleased: 1976 \n\n\nGenre: Western / Drama \n\n\nRuntime: 135 minutes \n\n\nRide with Josey.
