Following the day-to-day encounters
of four cattle herders who roam the countryside without owning a particular
piece of land, or "freegrazers" (Costner, Duvall, Luna, Benrubi),
living in the final years of the Wild West, this film tells the story of how
they eventually team up to rid a burgeoning remote town, Harmonville, from the
machinations of a ruthlessly evil rancher, Baxter (Gambon), who forms a sort of
"outlaw state" where he makes the laws and rules, and enforces them
using scare tactics and brute force.
