Synopsis

James Conner’s childhood is destroyed in a flash of a single gunshot when his father (William Sadler, “The Shawshank Redemption”) is murdered by the town’s psychotic saloon owner Will Tunney (Angus Macfadyen, “Braveheart”).

Fifteen years later James returns as an aimless bounty hunter, to claim the bounty on Will’s head and reunite with his childhood sweetheart, Mary Cooper (Marnie Alton, “Love On The Side.”). Will has become even more powerful and crushes James, leaving him for dead.

When two Native Americans, Washakie (Michael Spears, “Dances With Wolves”) and Miakoda (Tonantzin Carmelo, “Into the West,”) find James they challenge him to forgive and not seek vengeance. James must look within himself to release his past and not be ruined by it.

A beautiful and stunning epic, Age Of The Gunslinger is a haunting tale of lost love and revenge.
