Die Gesetzlosen
(1999)
Regisseur:
John Kent HarrisonSchauspieler:
Sam Elliott, Arliss Howard, Carolyn McCormick, James GammonEs ist der Wilde Westen.Oklahoma ist immer noch ein Wild West für alle gesetzlosen Männer, auch die Gesetzeshüter sind skrupellos, und mischen sich in alle Geschäfte in der Stadt mit ein. Wiley Lynn (Arliss Howard), ein Geheimagent, versteckt seine Marke vor den Gesetzlosen, trinkt und konsumiert Drogen damit er nicht auffällt. Bill Tilghman (Sam Elliott) ist ein anerkannter Rechtsanwalt und ein erfolgreicher Schütze. Er hat genug von den Gesetzlosen und deren Gaunereien und versucht die Stadt zu säubern.
In six months, the population of Cromwell, Oklahoma, has climbed from 500 to 10,000. Boom times have come to the oil-rich town. So has a new breed of criminal. You Know My Name is the fact-based story of Bill Tilghman, a lawman and former partner of Wyatt Earp confronted by an emerging era when outlaws run whiskey instead of cattle and are likely to tote a tommy gun as carry a six-gun. An ideally cast Sam Elliott plays Tilghman, whose life takes on a newfangled wrinkle of its own. Tilghman makes a moving picture of his Old West exploits; and the success of that silent film, The Passing of the Oklahoma Outlaws, spreads his reputation like a brushfire. But that reputation may mean nothing to a thug (Arliss Howard) who hides behind a badge.
