In 1890 Wyoming, James Averill is the Sheriff of Johnson County, which is largely inhabited by foreign immigrants. The wealthy cattle owners view the immigrant farmers as a nuisance and hindrance to them enlarging their own land. The cattlemens association, the Wyoming Stock Growers Association, effectively declares war on the immigrant farmers and gets the state governments blessing. They assemble an army of guns-for-hire and, backed by the U.S. Cavalry, set out to rid the state of the immigrants. James Averills heart is with the immigrants, but he doesnt think they have a chance of winning the inevitable war.
In writer/director Michael Ciminos bleak anti-western based on events in 1890s Wyoming, Sheriff James Averill attempts to protect immigrant farmers from wealthy cattle interests, and also clashes with hired-gun Nathan Champion over the woman they both love. Both men question their roles in the furious conflict between wealthy landowners and European immigrants attempting to build new lives on the American frontier, which culminates in a brutal battle.
