It's 1883 in Johnson County, in the old Dakota Territory a rugged,
wide-open landscape of rolling, red earth, prairie, and cattle as
far as the eye can see. But the land is closing, the "Beef Bonanza"
is ending, and the free-range cattlemen are stuck watching a way of
life disappear in a blaze of drought and gunfire. An action-packed
western from one of the masters of the genre, Oakley Hall's The Bad
Lands blends round-ups and rustlers, whorehouses and land grabs,
shoot-outs and the threat of hangings in a tale of the war between
the cowboys and the cattle barons. But more than this, it is an
elegy to the wild beauty of the badlands before the ranchers moved
in, chased off the free-rangers, the trappers, and the tribes, and
fenced it all in.
