An incredible epic Western movie is airing on TV tonight

It's about a Missouri farmer turned feared gunfighter during the American Civil War.

In the film, he plays Josey Wales - a Missouri farmer turned feared gunfighter following the murder of his family during the American Civil War.

Eventually becoming an outlaw, Wales is pursued by bounty hunters and soldiers as he tries to make a new life for himself.

A hit at the box office and with critics thanks to Eastwood's tough performance, the movie's epic scope and its anti-war themes, The Outlaw Josey Wales is now considered as being among its star's best Westerns.

And considering that his other Westerns include the Dollars Trilogy, High Plains Drifter, Pale Rider and Unforgiven - that is some feat.

The Outlaw Josey Wales is airing tonight on ITV4 at 9pm. It is also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Microsoft, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.
