Rating:

Lawrence_Kasdan's Silverado is a fond hark back to the all-star, big-budget westerns of the 1950s and 1960s. The various plotlines converge at the town of Silverado, held in thrall by crooked sheriff Brian_Dennehy and his behemoth "deputies." The four disparate heroes--Kevin_Kline, Kevin_Costner, Scott_Glenn and Danny_Glover--prepare to do battle against Dennehy for personal reasons ranging from mercenary to altruistic. Sidelines characters include duplicitous, dandified gambler Jeff_Goldblum, frontier widow Rosanna_Arquette and gimlet-eyed saloon owner Linda_Hunt. The film is stolen hands-down by Kevin_Costner, playing an irresponsible young gunslinger who never speaks when hootin' and hollerin' will do. A classic, High_Noon-style showdown caps this rousing retro western. Hal Erickson, Rovi
