The September 11th attacks in 2001 and the subsequent 'War on
Terror' have had a profound effect on American cinema, and the
contemporary Western is no exception. In this book, John White
explores how films such as Open Range, True Grit and Jane Got a Gun
reinforce a conservative myth of America exceptionalism; endorsing
the use of extreme force in dealing with enemies and highlighting
the importance of defending the homeland. Placing their characters
within a dark world of confusion and horror, these films reflect
the United States' post-9/11 uncertainties, and the conflict
between civilised values and the brutality employed to defend them.
