Open Range is a 2003 Western movie based on the novel The Open Range Men by Lauran Paine. The film was directed and co-produced by Kevin Costner, who stars with Robert Duvall and Annette Bening.
The movie properly belongs to the Western genre and is set in Montana in 1882 (the year is seen on a new grave marker) though the movie was filmed entirely on location in Alberta.
The background of the movie concerns the "range wars" that occurred in the American West in the late 1800s. The "wars" pitted those that believed in the "Law of the Open Range" - free access to water and grass for everyone, against the "barbed wire" men land barons, who used the new fencing to define their empire and block the free-range cattlemen from moving their herds.
@TheWilly1948 Amen to that, if not the BEST ever!!!

The icon from this video, mit Robert Duvall, is the one I chose for my 2003 playlist. This is priceless Musik ! !
Film musik is FULL of rich bass sounds to show off the mega-sound systems in theatres, the exact sound that my ears crave. I am also blesed to live near this most awe-inspiring part of Amerika & to have driven through it many times. Gruß von Arizona

In diesem Film wurde sehr gut das Thema der offenen Weide (Open Range) beleuchtet. Und die damit verbundenen blutigen Fehden der damaligen Zeit. Nicht Costner's bester Western (für mich immer noch Wyatt Earp), aber dennoch sehr unterhaltsam ind toll fotografiert. 5*****
