A journey through barren land – a story of perseverance and survival.
Tommy Lee Jones directs and stars alongside Hilary Swank in this critically acclaimed drama set in 1850s Nebraska, where the harsh realities of life have broken the hearts of three women. The headstrong and independent Mary Bee Cuddy (Swank) takes on the task of transporting the women across the dangerous wilderness back to the safety of the East.
He enlists the help of a reluctant outlaw, George Briggs (Jones). A relentless journey begins, one that is not only fraught with dangers from the elements and hostile encounters, but also the dark side of the human psyche. The Homesman is a beautifully shot, powerful and moving work that shakes up the traditional Western.
