Tom Horn is a 1980 Western film directed by William Wiard and starring Steve McQueen in his final film role. The film is based on the real-life story of Tom Horn, a former army scout and lawman who was hired by cattle ranchers to protect their herds from rustlers in the late 1800s.
As the story unfolds, we see Tom Horn carrying out his job with precision and efficiency, taking down the rustlers one by one. However, his methods are seen as brutal and ruthless by some, and he soon finds himself on trial for the murder of a young boy.
The film portrays Tom Horn as a man caught in a changing world, where the old ways of the west are being replaced by the progress of modern times. His simple skills and code of honor are quickly becoming obsolete, and he feels increasingly out of place in this new world.
As he defends himself in court, he faces off against corrupt officials and powerful ranchers who want to see him convicted. In the end, Tom Horn is found guilty and sentenced to death, but his legacy lives on as a skilled and honorable lawman who fought for justice in a changing world.
Steve McQueen's performance in Tom Horn has been widely praised, and the film has gained a reputation as an underrated classic of the Western genre.
