The Missouri Breaks

In Arthur Penn's 1976 Western, "The Missouri Breaks", a ruthless land baron hires an eccentric sharp-shooting assassin to take care of a gang of rustlers led by Jack Nicholson, who are severely diminishing his profits. The film follows the cat-and-mouse game between the two leads as Clayton ruthlessly takes down Logan's gang one by one, and the myth of the American frontier is explored through themes of economic exploitation and law and order.
