WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Some years after the American Civil War in Wyoming, during a powerful blizzard, bounty hunter John Ruth (Russell) is transporting fugitive Daisy Donaghue (Leigh) to Red Rock where she is to face justice for murder. Along the way, they pick up two more figures: former Union soldier Major Marquis Warren (Jackson) and Southern renegade Chris Mannix (Goggins). The blizzard eventually forces them to take shelter in Minnie’s Haberdashy, where they encounter four more people – caretaker Bob (Bichir), hangman Oswaldo Mobray (Roth), cow-puncher Joe Gage (Madsen) and former Confederate general Sandford Smithers (Dern) – and realise that they might not make it to Red Rock after all…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Quentin Tarantino returns to his beloved Western genre for an all-star shoot-out with all the qualities you expect from the filmmaker – in addition to being filmed in spectacular 70mm film, a must for all movie buffs.
