Comes a Horseman
She was as strong as the land for which she fought. And as vulnerable.
Directed by Alan J. Pakula
Produced by United Artists
A neo-western romance about two neighbors defending their land and each other against corruption and greed, finding love amid hardship and betrayal.
Ella Connors is a single woman who gets pressured to sell her failing cattle farm to her corrupt ex-suitor, Jacob Ewing. She asks for help from her neighbor, Frank Athearn. As Ella and Frank fight back through stampedes, jealousy, betrayal, and sabotage... they eventually find love.
