Heaven's Gate

What one loves about life are the things that fade.

An epic, visually sumptuous meditation on class conflict and lost idealism set against the Johnson County War, where beauty and tragedy intertwine as principled men confront the corruption of the frontier.

Harvard graduate James Averill serves as the sheriff of prosperous Jackson County, Wyoming, standing at the center of a conflict between impoverished immigrants and affluent cattle farmers. Politically connected ranchers enlist mercenary Nathan Champion—who is also vying for the affections of local madam Ella Watson—to combat the immigrant uprising. As tensions escalate, both Averill and Champion start to question their decisions.
