This loosely fact-based oater attempts to mimic the youthful heartthrobs in Western garb formula of Young Guns, as well as the cheeky humor and some plot elements of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Colin Farrell stars as Jesse James, who returns home from the Civil War to his small hometown to find that a crooked railroad baron has been illegally forcing the residents from the homesteads to make way for a new rail line.
