Full Plot Details

After the American Civil War, outlaw Jesse James forms a gang comprised of himself, his brother Frank James, Cole Younger and his two brothers, Jim Younger and Bob Younger as well as Ed Miller and his brother Clell Miller. The gang is led by Jesse James and Cole Younger. The gang starts by robbing small banks and stagecoaches in the Midwest and in their home state of Missouri. Later, the gang targets bigger prizes, such as larger banks and trains. This criminal activity attracts the attention of the railroad company owners who hire the Pinkerton Detective Agency to capture the gang. When the gang kills a few Pinkerton detectives, a war of sorts starts between the Pinkerton Agency and the James-Younger gang. Sometimes caught in the middle of it are innocent civilians. In 1876, the gang is running out of banks to rob in Missouri and decides to raid a supposedly fat bank, far up North, in the state of Minnesota. But the Pinkerton Detective Agency is setting up a trap there.

Movie Reviews

USA Today - 9/10 by Mike ClarkPolitically, the film reflects post-Vietnam, post-countercultural blues.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Jake ColeThe Long Riders takes more than a few cues from John Ford, favoring laconic characters whose projected confidence masks an inability to vocalize basic desires.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Mike EmeryDespite its age, The Long Riders remains quite fresh. By combining elements of classic Westerns with a modern narrative, Hill and his capable cast render a thrilling look at characters often misinterpreted by Hollywood.
TIME Magazine - 8/10 by Richard SchickelHill is very much in the American grain, the inheritor of the Ford-Hawks-Walsh tradition of artful, understated action film making.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffWhat's ultimately missing is a definable point of view which would tie together the myriad events on display and fill in the blanks which Hill has imposed on the action by sapping it of emotional or historical meaning.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Michael WilmingtonThe main hook of The Long Riders is clearly in the casting, but this never feels gimmicky in a film that attempts to balance the pastoral and the brutal. It’s a noble ambition and one which works for the most part; there are occasions upon which it means a jarring switch of tone but largely the timbre remains consistently elegiac.
Movie Metropolis - 7/10 by James PlathThe Long Riders isn't quite sure which way it wants to ride, but the action scenes and cinematography make up for any misdirection.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Kevin ThomasWhat’s ultimately missing is a definable point of view which would tie together the myriad events on display and fill in the blanks which Hill has imposed on the action by sapping it of emotional or historical meaning.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Janet MaslinMr. Hill weaves their gestures together with a portentous elegance that promises a great deal that it never delivers.
Spirituality and Practice - 4/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe Long Riders is well-done film about the legendary Jesse James.
