When he rode into Wyoming in 1900, Tom Horn was already a legend. He was as successful at wiping out rustlers as he had been at everything else he'd tried. But the West was changing, and a free spirit like Horn was a liability to the men who had hired him. Based on a true story, Tom Horn presents a harsher, less romantic vision of the West, but one that remains true to the frontier's raging spirit.
