Plot: Boss Spearman, Charley Waite, Mose Harrison and Button freegraze their cattle across the vast prairies of the West, sharing a friendship forged by a steadfast code of honor and living a life unencumbered by civilization. When their wayward herd forces them near the small town of Harmonville, the cowboys encounter a corrupt sheriff and kingpin rancher who govern the territory through fear, tyranny and violence. Boss and Charley find themselves inextricably drawn towards an inevitable showdown, as they are forced to defend the freedom and values of a lifestyle that is all too quickly vanishing. Amidst the turmoil, life suddenly takes an unexpected turn for the loner Charley when he meets the beautiful and warm spirited Sue Barlow, a woman who embraces both his heart and his soul.

Quotes:
Sue Barlow: I don't have the answers, Charley. But I know that people get confused in this life about what they want, and what they've done, and what they think they should've because of it. Everything they think they are or did, takes hold so hard that it won't let them see what they can be.
Boss Spearman: We'll let the brains of the outfit do the thinking. Sue?
Charley Waite: Men are gonna get killed here today, Sue, and I'm gonna kill 'em.
Boss Spearman: We got a warrant sworn for attempted murder for them that tried to kill the boy who's laying over there at the Doc's, trying to stay alive. Swore out another one for them that murdered the big fella you had in your cell. Only ours ain't writ by no tin star, bought and paid for, Marshal. It's writ by us, and we aim to enforce it.
Boss Spearman: Man's got a right to protect his property and his life, and we ain't lettin' no rancher or his lawman take either.
Charley: You the one killed our friend?::Butler: That's right. I shot the boy, too. And I enjoyed it.::[Charley pulls out his gun and shoots Butler]
[Charley has explained his strategy for the upcoming fight]::Boss Spearman: Sounds like you got it all worked out.::Charley Waite: Yeah, except the part where we don't get killed.
[Charley Waite kicks Button off his horse. He falls into the river]::Button: What you do that for?::Charley Waite: Cheatin' at cards.::Button: I apologized to you for that.::[to Boss Spearman]::Button: Eh, Boss? I apologized to him for that.::Boss Spearman: Evidently he ain't over it yet.
Charley Waite: You ever seen one this bad?::Boss Spearman: Not since Noah and the Flood.::Mose: Well, you should know, Boss, since you was there.::Boss Spearman: What'd you say?::Button: He said, "You should know since you was there."
Boss Spearman: My friend and me got a hankerin' for Switzerland chocolate and a good smoke.
