Lone Star is a 1996 American mystery film written and directed by John Sayles and set in a small town in Texas. The ensemble cast features Chris Cooper, Kris Kristofferson, Matthew McConaughey and Elizabeth Peña and deals with a sheriff's investigation into the murder of one of his predecessors. The movie was filmed in Del Rio, Eagle Pass and Laredo, Texas.
Sheriff Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper) is the county sheriff in Frontera, Texas, a fictional border town in the fictional Rio County. Sam has little enthusiasm for his job and the local politics that go with the job. Sam got the job because his late father had been a popular and legendary Sheriff Buddy Deeds (Matthew McConaughey), who is remembered as fair and just by the citizens of Rio County. However, Sam had many problems with his father and the pair routinely argued and fought.
Sam is particularly disapproving of efforts by Mayor Hollis Pogue (Clifton James), Buddy's chief deputy and best friend, and business leader Mercedes Cruz (Míriam Colón), to rename the local courthouse in Buddy's honor. As a teenager, Sam had been in love with Mercedes' daughter Pilar (Elizabeth Peña), but the courtship was opposed by both of their parents. After a chance meeting at the courthouse dedication ceremony, Sam and the now-widowed Pilar slowly resume their courtship.

Plot: Inspired by American war films from the 50's, Retreat! tells the story of a small outfit of U.S. Soldiers who were forced to retreat into unknown territories deep in the heart of Korea during the roughest stretch of the Korean War. Unsure of their position and having no way to inform headquarters of the situation, they decided to hold post at an abandon POW compound they stumbled upon during their untimely exit from the battlefield. With very little ammo to defend themselves, and fear of surrounding enemy forces, they have been patiently waiting for the search and rescue squadron which should be arriving any day now... This will be the first film in director Scott Slone's Korean War Trilogy.

Two off-duty sergeants from an Army post near the Texas border town of Frontera find skeletal remains and a rusty sheriff's badge on an abandoned rifle range. Frontera's current sheriff, Sam Deeds, son of the late legendary lawman Buddy Deeds, begins an investigation. Sam quickly learns that the bones are those of the corrupt sheriff his father was reputed to have run out of town, Charley Wade. Sam's hostile relationship with his father had driven him out of Frontera and only since the old man's death has he returned. Now that Mayor Hollis Pogue and the city council plan to name the new courthouse after Buddy Deeds, Sam's old feelings about his father resurface. In the border towns that bridge the Rio Grande, against a tapestry of historical, familial and individual passions, promises and ...
2 enthusiastic thumbs up for John Sayles' "Lone Star", with Chris Cooper as a Texas Sheriff on the trail of old secrets. This is a wonderful movie, rich and complex, and they both thought it was 1 of the best of the year.
This scene from John Sayle's film Lone Star (1996) illustrate the stakes involved in the making--and teaching--of history. Does a multicultural approach to history threaten established "traditions"? Does it undermine "standards," or does it add complexity and nuance to the story of who we are as a nation or community?
Favorite scene from John Sayles' Lone Star. Beautiful lyrics: "My love for you is a mountain side. My love for you is an ocean's roll. My love for you is a deep blue sea."

Goodbye future, once so bright, meet my pregnant
girlfriend
Watch my bank account run dry, 437 dollars spent
To put things back to the way they used to be
Still, I woulda spent so much more
But 437 dollars somehow shakes all responsibility
But it's not easy
She looks me dead in the eyes and says "hey Brian
If you still believe in the Lord above,
Get on your hands and knees and pray for us
Get on your hands and knees and pray for us
The past few months were pretty rough
A couple times, wished we both were dead
I never cried like that before,
I thought my eyes would pop out of my head
Not just preparing for nightmares
Years and years I do suppose
Nothing feels alright now
The length on my hear or the fit of my clothes
I’m crying like a baby, soft and nothing
'Cause I can leave so what now what, so where do I go
'Cause I could imagine myself throwing all my clothes
Inside a suitcase without bothering to fold them
'Cause I could imagine myself throwing all my things
Inside a suitcase without bothering to fold them
She looked me dead in the eyes and says "hey Brian
If you still believe in the Lord above,
Get on your hands and knees and pray for us
Get on your hands and knees and pray for us
Because freshness is expected from any hip hop artist,
I avoid using traditional techniques
