Posse
"Posse" begins like most Westerns. It ends like none of them. It will knock you off your horse.
Directed by Kirk Douglas
Produced by Bryna Productions, Paramount Pictures
A revisionist Western that subverts genre expectations by examining the corruptibility of authority and the moral ambiguity of pursuit, where the hunter becomes the hunted.
A tough marshal with political ambitions leads an elite posse to capture a notorious train robber and his gang.
