How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sun-bleached odyssey across frontier America where two roguish horse traders shepherd a Mormon caravan toward sanctuary, balancing roguish pragmatism against moral reckoning in the face of outlaws and unforgiving landscape. Ford's vision finds grace and humor in the collision of faith and frontier hardship.
