The American
West is a factual docudrama that recently aired on Foxtel's
History Channel, which catapults you into a violent world of
cowboys, Native Americans, outlaws and gunslingers. The ground runs
red with the blood of their stories, from Jesse James to Billy the
Kid. These men were the first to live the American dream, and the
first to die for it.
The 8-episode series
chronicles the personal, little-known stories of American Western
legends such as Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, Crazy Horse
and Sitting Bull. Executive Producer Robert Redford's
knowledge and passion for this period is apparent in each of the
eight episodes, as well as appearances from Ed Harris, James
Caan, Kris Kristofferson, Mark Harmon, Tom Selleck, Burt Reynolds
and Kiefer Sutherland.
