| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Oscar nominee Viggo Mortensen ("Eastern Promises"),
four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris ("Pollock"), Academy
Award winner Renee Zellweger ("Cold Mountain") and
Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons ("Reversal of Fortune")
star in the Western "Appaloosa," adapted from the
Robert B. Parker novel.
Set in 1882 in the Old West territory of New Mexico, "Appaloosa"
revolves around city marshal Virgil Cole (Harris) and his
deputy and partner Everett Hitch (Mortensen), who have made
their reputation as peacekeepers in the lawless towns springing
up in the untamed land.
In the small mining community of Appaloosa, a ruthless, powerful
rancher named Randall Bragg (Irons) has 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.
While establishing new authority with equal parts grit and
guns, Cole and Hitch meet provocative newcomer Allison French
(Zellweger), whose unconventional ways threaten to undermine
their progress and to destroy the two lawmen's decade-old
partnership.
