Meek's Cutoff
Meek wants to lead colonists to Oregon, by using a shorter route. Hardships mount up quickly. A real Western yet very topical.

Night Moves
Radical environmentalists (Eisenberg, Fanning, Sarsgaard) plan an eco-terror attack on a dam. The moral consequences give rise to serious doubts, for both the activists and the audience. Intelligent, atmospheric eco-thriller, to which nature provides a dramatic background.

First Cow
Beautiful, thoughtful western focusing on friendship rather than strife. And on the diversity of the American frontier around 1820.
