IMO, Tom Horn is one of the finest Westerns ever made. And one of Steve McQueen's most underrated roles. His masterful portrayal of Tom Horn's horseback way-of-life put this film in the cinematic upper echelon. The chemistry between him and Linda Evans is poignant and wonderful. And the respect, friendship and sadness of John C. Coble (played brilliantly by the incomparable Richard Farnsworth) captures the soul of the American West. Tom Horn; truly a rare breed.
A few of his pictures were amidst the very Best western cowboy pictures Ever Made. This was one of those, very Best westerns ever made. He was Born to play it.
This is a great movie and Steve MCQueen rocked the character of Tom Horn that never really existed. The real Tom Horn was a killer, who's services the Wyoming Stock Growers Association put to good use. Horn had many of the characteristics of a high functioning psycopath. He usually killed by ambush or from a distance. Horn's bullets found men who were completely innocent. Men who were in the wrong place at the right time. Horn tended to not worry about details. The boy he was hanged for was probably a case of mistsken identity. Horn was hunting the boys father. The kid was wearong his fathers coat and hat that day and Horn shot him dead from cover.
Tis good when reading comments one comes across those that have seen a film and speak so glowingly of it. Assuming tis a feature length film and this was but a trail, alas having done a search one is unable to find the complete uploaded version. ;-(
@ yes it was uploaded yesterday, and was removed about half way through my viewing - thankfully I was able to finish it without any issue. Well worth a watch, if you haven’t seen it
I can't remember what Louis Lamour wrote about Tom Horn in his books but I remember my dad said some things that sounded like Tom Horn was set up for the charges he was hung for.
Author Chip Carlson did the best work on Tom Horn, you need to read his book "Blood On the Moon." about Tom Horn's western life when he went from being a scout to hired stock detective. There was a "retrial" of sorts back a few years ago when a court went through the evidence and Horn was effectively acquitted of his charges. The statement he made, Horn was drunk when he made it about killing the 14 year old boy. There was really no other evidence other than that against Horn. At the time of his trial, Horn's was a huge event with the US Army on hand because there was talk that he was going to be broken out of jail.

Ya know, there's country out there that takes a NYC city boy like me and transforms your soul. I've seen places out west that are legitimate arguments for the existence of the Divine.
I like the justice of Kharma. No crooked justice, judges, lawyers or jurors necessary. No lies tolerated. As the cliche goes, "If I'm lying I'm dying". 💯👍🐂💩😠

I totally agree.
But a sad ending
His best role

Classic movie 🤓🙋♂️❤👍 , i hope everyone has a wonderful New Year 👍
How have I never seen this before... Now I know how I will start the new year.
I'm the very same..
Bill, Charlie, Happy New Year 🤝😉
His last ever movie :(
This was Steve McQueen's final western It was filmed in 1979, a year before his death. It was released in 1980.
I heard his cause of death was in a car accident.
No@@johnwaynemcdonaldii1655
Steve McQueen was so f**king cool 😊
@colettemccoy2921 Seems he was a stubborn little cuss as well.
Excellent riding skills, walking the horse backwards so he keep his eyes on the baddies. Steve good on 4 legs as well as 4 wheels 😊
King of cool making cowboy life cool
One of the most realistic western movies!
Haha yeah, only that there was a loading race for trucks in the background at the auction scene... oops 😅
Tom Horn
A true classic in every way.
Real cattle rustling is still going on out here in Kansas . What we need is another Tom Horn and forget the politically correct bullshit!
Canada too. Beef is gettin expensive.
15 year old boy was killed by the man. I don't think thats heroic.
Blame the monopolies that control meat prices, not rustlers.
@@jeffmisch1485 if you bothered to read the real story , tom horn never killed the boy , he was set up
@@jeffmisch1485was never proven.
Wow 😲 nice movie 👍👍👍

Thanks for that information. Many of the hero legions had very dark backgrounds, Thanks for your insight. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
I imagine the West was filled with psychopaths, particularly before the opening of the West via the railroad. Tough neighborhood.
Barry Lyndon - I JUST caught the upload, one of the greatest film I have ever had the privilege of watching. Thank you very much much

Really was a great actor, an actual star.
Tom: Good 👍

That's how cowards normally deal with heroes. Ask Caesar. 🤔

I was born in New Mexico. I know what you mean!
Trying to sneak up on someone while wearing jingling spurs. 😂😂😂
Or cowardly disparaging troops while hiding behind BONESPURS
Steve McQueen’s final film.
The hunter was his last film.
Fantastic
I personally like McCloud with Dennis Weaver.
Snake fastest karayam in the word!ready fight.🎉🎉🎉
Cattle rustlers still run rampant… Need more livestock agents. Hard nosed ones at that. Ones that know the brands and all the tricks of the switch.
I like the justice of Kharma. No crooked justice, judges, lawyers or jurors necessary. No lies tolerated. As the cliche goes, "If I'm lying I'm dying".
💯👍🐂💩😠
8:33 So, where's the shot?!
When movies were a story. Not a political statement
If you look it up there is a picture of Tom making the noose they hung him in
Hanged
A western with a epoch fitting Winchester...Fine piece but I myself like the one with David Carradine a bit more. Thank you.
KUNG FOOEY !! I can't stomach David Carradine !!
What would become of the horse with the saddles still on.
The real Horn ended up on the end of a rope.
A horse screaming in pain is terrible in real life

"You're gonna hang Tom !
Tom says,
can't hurt a Christian."

O.K.. 🎉.
Baik ar Tom Tanduk
That was a cheesy depiction of Tom Horn and the costumes were not too authentic.
