The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford Brad Pitt 2008 DVD

Western starring Brad Pitt as the legendary Wild West outlaw Jesse James. To those he robbed and terrorised, he may have been just a criminal, but in the sensational newspaper articles and dime novels chronicling the James Gang throughout the 1870s, Jesse was the object of awe and admiration. Foremost among his admirers was Robert Ford (Casey Affleck), an idealistic and ambitious young man who had devoted his life to the hope of one day riding alongside his idol. When Robert is recruited into James’ notorious gang, he eventually grows jealous of the famed outlaw and when he and his brother Charley (Sam Rockwell) sense an opportunity to kill James, their murderous action elevates their target to near mythical status.
