SEARCHERS 2.0 is Alex Cox's (REPO MAN, SID & NANCY) eclectic, laugh-out-loud, send-up of the original SEARCHERS steeped in all the elements of an Alex Cox film you'd expect and want.

Mel and Fred are two actors who spent their careers in American westerns. When they discover that legendary screenwriter Fritz Frobisher is appearing at a special screening in Utah's Monument Valley, they decide to take a road trip from L.A. to the legendary site of John Ford's westerns. Their purpose is to seek revenge on the screenwriter for mistreating them as children on the filmset of BUFFALO BILL VS. DOC HOLLIDAY. Ultimately, the fate of everyone depends on their knowledge of the maestro, Sergio Leone.

Shot on a zero budget with a minimalist, laid-back style as well aswithfluid editing and direction, the film's tempo stays lively as the characters' hi-jinks continue to collide. Written by Cox, the film is filled with memorable one-liners and standout performances. Underlying it all is insightful political satire and an homage to the unforgettable Westerns of Leone and Ford.
