The Badlanders

Overview

Released from the Arizona Territorial Prison in 1898, The Dutchman seeks both gold and vengeance against those who wrongfully imprisoned him in a small mining town. Meanwhile, McBain, yearning for a fresh start, finds it difficult to escape his past when The Dutchman ropes him into a dangerous gold heist. Drawing inspiration from W.R. Burnett's 1949 novel, "The Asphalt Jungle," this adaptation reimagines the gritty tale in a Western context, becoming the second cinematic interpretation after the iconic 1950 noir. Tension and moral dilemmas abound as both men navigate their perilous choices.
