WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the 1870s, out in the Old West, Danish immigrant Jon (Mikkelsen) attempts to bring his wife and son with him to the United States. Although he manages to successfully do this, they soon fall victim to a terrible crime and, in a moment of despair, Jon kills the man responsible. Unfortunately, that man’s brother is the ruthless Colonel Delarue (Morgan) who will stop at nothing to avenge his brother, forcing Jon to fight back in order to save the town and find peace…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

An old-fashioned Western with the dirt and grit of any modern interpretation, The Salvation is thrilling enough for any genre lovers and timeless stories of good versus evil.
