The story plays like a biblical parable, dealing with themes about truth, honor, loyalty, mentoring, friendship, love and standing up for what is right (even if taking that stand could mean certain death).

Good: This is an engaging and rewarding story full of ideals and principles that our 21st century culture is in desperate need of hearing. With the odds stacked against them, the cowboy duo take a stand for what they believe in and end up fighting for not only themselves but the rest of the town as well. When one of their group is wounded, Charley and Boss take him to the town doctor where they meet Sue Barlow (Bening), the doctor's sister who assists her brother. Unusual circumstances ultimately force Boss and Charley into an inevitable showdown where they are forced to defend their freedom, values and lifestyle against hatred and prejudice. When their need for supplies forces the cowboys to go into the small town of Harmonville, they encounter a corrupt sheriff and powerful rancher (Gambon) who governs the territory through fear and violence. Boss and Charley share a friendship built on a code of honor and living a life unencumbered by civilization.
Plot: Boss Spearman (Duvall), Charley Waite (Costner), Mose Harrison (Benrubi) and "Button" (Luna) are cowboys who "free graze" their cattle across the vast prairies of the untamed West in the late 1800s. Cast member Michael Jeter was a talented actor who died after filming this past March. Originally he had images of Montana as the backdrop for this story, but several factors forced the crew to take the project to Calgary, Canada. Special Notes: "Dances With Wolves" was Costner's first time to direct (he won a "Best Director" Oscar), and this film is his third. Actors: Kevin Costner, Annette Bening, Abraham Benrubi, Robert Duvall, Michael Gambon, Diego Luna, Michael Jeter
