A really terrific movie which almost singlehandedly brought the Western back from the dead. What you forget after not seeing it since it was in theaters 40 years ago is how absolutely entertaining it is: the perfect blend of 80s bravura cinema (Lawrence Kasdan, whom we remember as the writer behind the best of the Star Wars movies writes and directs) along with the entire legacy of Western storytelling.
