Purgatory

A rare Western fused with fantastical elements, Purgatory chronicles a gang of outlaws who find their way to a hidden valley and a peaceful town, where residents shun swearing, alcohol, guns and any kind of violence but resemble dead Western heroes. The town of Refuge welcomes them but they are puzzled by the residents, who do not carry guns or swear and who flock to the church whenever the bell tolls. As one of the gang members is struck by lightning when he prepares to throw his knife at the church door, Sonny, a young gang member, investigates further, realizing that the town appears to be occupied by former notorious gunfighters who are trying to redeem themselves before gaining admittance to Heaven or screw up and go to Hell. In the end, Sonny's willingness to protect others secures a place in Heaven for him and his newfound friends among the townspeople.
