Into the Badlands

Bruce Dern plays a cold-hearted bounty hunter, Barston, in this offbeat Western with Mariel Hemingway and Helen Hunt. Trailing a half-breed rapist-killer, he encounters McComas (Dylan McDermott), an outlaw on the run from a vengeful lawman, who has a date with destiny on the streets of Laredo after meeting Blossom (Hunt). Barston then spends an evening spinning tall tales with homesteaders, one of whom, Alma (Hemingway), is besieged by a blizzard and a pack of wolves while visiting a neighbor (Lisa Pelikan). Barston finally bags his prey after thirteen months, but receives an unexpected reward, in this sinister sagebrush saga. (official distributor synopsis)
