Warner Bros. ‘Appaloosa’ Production Stills

Ed Harris directs as well as co-wrote with Robert Knott the film Appaloosa.  The western is set in 1882 in the Old West territory of New Mexico. Appaloosa pivots around city marshal Virgil Cole (Ed Harris) and his deputy and partner Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen), who made their status by keeping peace in the lawless towns springing up in the untamed land.In the small mining community of Appaloosa, a heartless, powerful rancher named Randall Bragg (Jeremy Irons)  allowed his band of outlaws to run roughshod over the town. After the cold-blooded murder of Appaloosa’s city marshal, Cole and Hitch are hired to bring the murderer to justice.

Cole and Hitch meet a stimulating and aggressive newcomer Allison French (Renee Zellweger), whose unconventional ways threaten to undermine their progress and to destroy the two lawmen’s decade-old partnership.

 

 

Appaloosa opens wide October 3rd.
