Full Plot Details

Will Penny, an aging cowpoke, takes a "line-rider" job on a vast cattle ranch requiring him to keep trespassers and squatters moving until they're off the property. Ironically, he discovers that the mountain cabin reserved for the line rider has been appropriated by Catherine Allen and her young son, Horace, whose guide has deserted them en route to Oregon to join Catherine's husband. Too soft-hearted and ashamed to kick mother and child out just as the bitter Rocky Mountains winter sets in, he agrees to share the cabin until the spring thaw. But it isn't just the snow that slowly thaws; lonely man and woman soon forget their considerable dissimilarities and start developing a deep, if awkward and unstated, love for each another. Beyond this, Horace finds in Will the father he's never known, and Will finds in Horace the son he's never known he's wanted. The trio's little refuge is then invaded by Bible-quoting preacher Quint and his murderous family of "rawhiders", who'd earlier nearly killed Will over an imagined insult, forcing Will to defend his own "family".

Movie Reviews

New York Times - 10/10 by Renata AdlerBut for one scene too cruel for the story to support, and one scene in which the hero is taught Christmas carols too maudlin to believe, "Will Penny" might have been the best cowboy movie in some time.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Tracy MooreCowboy character study mixes violence and depth; some peril.
User Review - 10/10 by Donnacha FBeautiful and Sad film. Death of an old way of life.
User Review - 10/10 by Ashley HWill Penny is an incredible film. It is about aging cowboy Will Penny gets a line camp job on a large cattle spread. Charlton Heston and Joan Hackett give amazing performances. The script is well written. Tom Gries did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the romance and adventure. Will Penny is a must see.
User Review - 10/10 by Andrew JI love the movie and the cast of actors and actresses do a brilliant job!!!! You must see this movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Art SExcellent, uncompromising, gritty Western with unexpected touches of warmth. Heston and Hackett are wonderful. Not an especially happy movie, but quietly rewarding.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UChuck's best movie. Overall the story is a bit by the numbers but you forget about this because Chuck is so real as the title character. The best moments are in the beginning during the cattle drive. You really get the feeling that these guys are cowboys. Watch this movie, now!
User Review - 10/10 by Dylan WWILL PENNY-Released by Paramount Pictures. Running Time: 112 minutes. MPAA Rating: "M"-Mature Audiences-Parental Guidance Suggested.(For scenes of Western Violence and Strong Language). Released: 1968. -One of the best adult Westerns made to date and one of the more mature Westerns to come out of the 1960's,comes writer-director Tom Gries(who was most known for his television work for TV shows like The Rat Patrol)casts Charlton Heston(in one of the greatest roles in his career,and also he quoted as one of his favorite films)in the title role of a cowboy who patrols for trespassers and rustlers on a huge ranch,who protects two uninvited visitors,a mother and her son from vicious outlaws in 1880's Montana. Gries' son Jon Gries,aka Jon Francis plays the boy while actress Joan Hackett portrays his mother who protects her son from the vicious outlaws(Donald Pleasence, Bruce Dern and Lee Majors). The film was very good in bring a more darker side of ranch life in the Old West. Excellent character study in one of Charlton Heston's best roles.
User Review - 10/10 by William RHeston made so many formulaic disaster films during the seventies that it's hard to remember that he was a pretty good actor as well. My favourite Heston film.
User Review - 10/10 by Frances AExcellent, uncompromising, gritty Western with unexpected touches of warmth. Heston and Hackett are wonderful. Not an especially happy movie, but quietly rewarding.
