Montana sheep farmer Rebecca Yoder (Naomi Watts) offers sanctuary to an on-the-lam outlaw, Johnny Gault (Tim Daly), who is suffering from a gunshot wound. Yoder is a recent widow, and her decision to help the outsider doesn't sit well with her Quaker community. As a romance brews between her and Gault, it puts in jeopardy her standing among her devout neighbors. But when an evil rancher makes a play for the community's land, Gault's sharpshooting skills might prove his worth after all.

Diane W Sep 3 WONDEFUL LOVE STORY !!!AS A ROMANTIC IT HAS A FREAT END.. IT HELPS THAT BOTH ACTORS ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! See more Carole W Aug 29 The director drew white hot chemistry from Daly and Watts. Tim, dripping with old fashioned alpha sexuality. Naomi dissolved into submission every woman longs for, bur seldom finds. What a brilliant reminder of what romance can and should evoke in entertainment. A feel good film that is sorely needed. Our culture has been hijacked by deviants and nihilists, who sadly make mostly “feel bad” film to further debase our world. See more Dec 13 Naomi Watts is brilliant..love watching her play any parts but she nailed this one even more than others. See more Lila M 07/18/2024 I loved this movie. Although the story isn't a new one, the acting and chemistry between Daly and Watts was riveting and made it feel new. See more 10/07/2019 I love this movie; the cast is awesome! See more 03/29/2017 Not your typical western. Reminds me of the movie, "Witness" with Harrison Ford, Very good plot and great acting by Naomi Watts & Tim Daly. Worth watching.
