Bad Company
They're young, desperate, dangerous—a long way from home, but a short way from Hell.
Directed by Robert Benton
Produced by Jaffilms Inc., Paramount Pictures
A morally ambiguous Western about young drifters fleeing conscription, exploring themes of loyalty, corruption, and the loss of innocence in a lawless frontier.
After Drew Dixon, an upright young man, is sent west by his religious family to avoid being drafted into the Civil War, he drifts across the land with a loose confederation of young vagrants.
