The Jack Bull
All men want justice. Few are willing to pay the price.
Directed by John Badham
Produced by New Crime Productions, River One Films
A grim Western meditation on the cost of pursuing justice outside a failed legal system, built on moral conviction and personal sacrifice.
When the law fails to punish a fellow rancher that has abused his horses, a Wyoming horse trader sacrifices it all in a quest for justice.
