Directed by Mario Van Peebles • 1993 • United States
Starring Mario Van Peebles, Stephen Baldwin, Charles Lane

Mario Van Peebles brings furious action and visual flair to this rousing revisionist western. He stars as the leader of a group of Black infantrymen who return from the Spanish-American War with a cache of gold. Riding out west, the men arrive in the town of Freemanville, an African American enclave that they must fight to protect from the attacks of white racists. Pam Grier, Isaac Hayes, and Woody Strode are among the icons who appear in this long-overdue ode to the Black cowboys who fought for justice on the range.
