Open Range (2003)
In Montana in 1882, “Boss” Spearman is an open range cattleman, who, with hired hands Charley Waite, Mose, and Button, is driving a herd cross country. Charley is a former soldier who served in a “special squad” during the Civil War and feels guilty over his past as a killer of both enemy soldiers and civilians. Boss sends Mose to the nearby town of Harmonville for supplies. The town is controlled by a ruthless Irish immigrant land baron, Denton Baxter, who hates open-rangers. Mose is badly beaten and jailed by the marshal, Poole. The only friendly inhabitant is Percy, the livery stable owner.
Boss and Charley become concerned when Mose does not return. They retrieve him from the jail but not before getting a warning from Baxter about free-grazing on his land. Mose’s injuries are so severe that Boss and Charley take him to Doc Barlow. There they meet Sue Barlow. Charley is attracted immediately, but assumes that Sue is the doctor’s wife. After catching masked riders scouting their cattle, Boss and Charley sneak up on their campsite in the night, and disarm them. At the same time, another attack results in Mose’s death. Button is badly injured and left for dead. Charley and Boss vow to avenge this injustice. They leave Button at the doctor’s house and go into town, where they lock Poole in his own jail.
