A mid-70s curiosity piece with lots of cows, gunfights, and a young Kurt Russell in silly costumes. Go to Full Review

Mollie K @RT93980458 2d I have to admit, this show launched a lifelong crush on Kurt Russell. (Tim Matheson was a cutie, too - but Kurt! Lucky Goldie lol) For the time, I thought this show actually did a pretty good job of being an entertaining western while being sensitive to the tragic way that the indigenous peoples were treated as settlers spread out from the east. It was an interesting premise, too: a wagontrain of settlers had been attacked years early, with adults killed and some children taken, including Kurt's character Morgan and his sister, while Tim's character Quinton was left with the survivors. After a treaty involving a return of captives, Morgan and Quinton set off on a Quest to find their sister, who was alive but not released. Of course it's rather dated now (that great 70s hair!), but it was great while it lasted, and I wish it had gotten another season in a new timeslot. It was doomed from the start, opposite Charlie's Angels. I was heartbroken when it was canceled. See more 12/08/2006 Not a very good movie. I wouldnt ever watch this movie again.
