This is one of my favorite movies. Tom Selleck, I think, captures the spirit of the frontier as he portrayes a restless wanderer bound by a promise to watch after the widow (Virgina Madsen) of a dying friend. His vow leads him to a small town terrorized by a saloon owner Mark Harmon ( Wyatt Earp) and his hired gun Brad Johnson. This is a film adaptation of Louis L'Amour's classic Western novel.

Since I have worked as an OTR truck driver, this movie interested me, although the trucker is the villian on this outing. The movie has good suspense and a twist ending. A college student (Walker) drives to New Jersey from Colorado with his older, prank-playing brother (Zahn) to pick up the girl he has a thing for (Sobieski) from her college. However, on the way, a prank played on a trucker the two brothers meet during a CB radio conversation turns dark when they discover he's a psycho killer and he's out to get them.
R (for violence/terror and language)
