One of the best Western movies of the 21st century is on TV tonight

Starring a legend of the genre, the film is currently unavailable to stream.

Based on the novel The Open Range Men, the film is set in the 19th century. It centres around Boss Spearman (Robert Duvall) and his cowhands, Charley (Costner) and Mose (Abraham Benrubi), who are driving cattle across a large expanse of country.

"When Mose ventures into a sparse village to buy a few necessities, he is met with violent hostility from Denton Baxter (Michael Gambon), an affluent landowner, and his right-hand man, Poole (James Russo)," the plot synopsis.

"When Mose doesn't come back, Boss and Charley realise he's in trouble, so they plot to get him back and get revenge on those who captured him."

Co-starring Annette Bening and Diego Luna, Open Range was a solid hit both at the box office and with critics.

The movie earned particular praise for Costner and Duvall's chemistry, as well as for the film's cinematography and its climactic shootout.

Its stature has only improved since its release, with many publications - including Collider and Entertainment Weekly - placing Open Range on their lists of the best Westerns of the 21st century.

Open Range is airing on TV tonight/tomorrow morning on Film4 at 12.45am. It should also be available to stream on Channel 4's website after it airs.
