Description:
Third Revision Draft script for the 1995 Western film, with script divided into the four days of the tournament. From the collection of novelist-screenwriter William Hjortsberg.
Sam Raimi's exuberant homage to the spaghetti western, criminally underrated at the time of its release, it has since been reassessed, a unique and finely crafted revisionist Western. Featuring memorable performances all around, including Russell Crowe's first US film role, and an up-and-coming Leonardo Di Caprio.
A woman gunfighter, "The Lady" (Sharon Stone), rides into the town of Redemption, run by the ruthless outlaw John Herod (Gene Hackman), to participate in a deadly quick draw elimination tournament with 15 other gunfighters, and to exact revenge.
Set in the fictional town of Redemption, shot on location in Arizona.
