Frank & Jesse
The civil war made them outlaws. The people made them heroes
Directed by Robert Boris
Produced by Trimark Pictures
A Western action-drama about Civil War veterans turned outlaws, driven by grievance against institutional oppression and the tension between survival and law.
At the end of the Civil War, Frank and Jesse James and other former guerillas who rode with Quantrill and Bill Anderson take the oath of allegiance to the Union. Feeling oppressed by Chicago railroad investors, the James and Younger brothers, Bob and Charlie Ford, Clell Miller and Arch Clements take to robbing banks, trains and coaches, with Pinkerton sworn to bringing them to justice.
