Summary:
Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call are pair of longtime friends and former Texas Rangers who crave one last adventure before hanging up their spurs. After stealing over a thousand head of cattle from rustlers south of the border, they recruit an unlikely crew of hands to drive the herd 3,000 miles north to the grasslands of Montana.
