The Cherokee Kid
In the old west, you had to be real hard, real tough or real crazy... He was all three.
Directed by Paris Barclay
Produced by HBO
A comedic Western revenge tale that balances action and humor with a protagonist driven by orphaned trauma, played for both laughs and stakes.
Isaih Turner didn’t want to be a hero-all he wanted was revenge. Orphaned when both his parents were cruelly murdered by the wealthy and powerful Cyrus Bloomington, the young Isaiah grew up with one air in mind: to find the man who killed his folks and take him down.
