About Tom Horn (Theatrical Release - March 27, 1980):
The saga of Tom Horn-a real-life "enforcer" of Old West days-held a particular fascination for another legend: Hollywood icon Steve McQueen.
McQueen starred in and executive-produced what would be his next-to-last movie, a gritty, exciting recreation of Horn's latter-day career in a turn-of-the-century West where gentler ways supplanted the law of the gun-and Horn would be an unwitting victim of that change.
Linda Evans, Richard Farnsworth, Billy Green Bush and Slim Pickens head a strong cast in a film capturing the essence of a time when a man's word was only as good as his guns or fists. Shot on serenely beautiful Arizona locations, Tom Horn indelibly brings to life one of the West's truly unsung heroes.

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.
I totally agree.
But a sad ending
His best role
hated the ending,..so much so I cant watch it anymore.. 🙁
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.
Nevada Smith is a great Western.
I have a pair of Colt grips with T. Horn 1897 scratched into the inside. Gifted to me by an old timer in Evanston WY. Impossible to prove but I treasure them all the same.
Pics ?
That's funny, so do I.
Get the hell out of here---very cool
Cool!😃
und was machen Sie jetzt damit?
Would be interested in seeing them . Grizz' Evanston Wyoming.
The way he reverse that horse out while staring them down is so fkn cool! Awesome attention to detail.... Makes the scene feel more tense... He's letting them know he means business, so much as reach for your balls to give them a scratch and you're getting gunned down :P
I'll bet that back in the old days plenty of gunslingers got gunned down for doing exactly that!!
@@sibanought Yeah there was no "He drew first sheriff", it was "He meant harm" and depending who "He" was that was good enough for most
I remember seeing this on a flight from JFK to LA almost 48 Years ago
I thought it was absolutely AMAZING.From then on i was hooked on Steve McQueen Movies
Especially Bullet
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 :(
McQueen had to have the cancer that killed him later while filming this. His star power was fading. The character was the flavor of the month for Hollywood and the projects about Tom Horn that released just before this failed. No real publicity, McQueen was not the star he used to be, Tom Horn was not a white hat hero audiences required.
It is a great movie. The cinematography is world class. McQueen plays the role perfectly.
On modern TV/monitors/phones the film is beautiful.
I like how he put that horse in reverse.
I've searched RUclips for years. Looking for this very scene of Tom H riding and shooting . It's finally there . Then he dismounts to shoot . The scene at the cattle auction , where Steve M gets his horse to back up .That's a well trained horse !
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 😊
I don't think people realize how cool that was. When have you EVER seen somebody walk-ride their horse backwards in a Western movie? I've been watching Westerns since I was a kid in the '60's and I can't remember ever seeing it!
@@Semi-C-Samurai John Wayne in El Dorado
John Wayne did that@@Semi-C-Samurai
I was impressed the way he shoots that big Winchester on horseback at full gallop, not easy to do.
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 😅
HISTORY. REALLY GOOD. ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
Wow, I didn't even know this movie existed. Gonna have to watch it now.
Tom had a really good horse, backs up nice and holds steady under gun fire, awesome.
The horses are the best bit of these old westerns.
Great movie and what magnificent country
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.
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.
I agree the killing was mistaken identity, but there was considerable evidence that it was not done by Tom Horn. The boy was Willie Nickell, & the Nickel family was involved in an ongoing dispute with a neighboring family, named Miller. Horn visited them frequently & was friendly with them, because he was sparking a schoolteacher, Glendolene Kimmel, who was rooming with them. He would go riding & shooting with the Miller sons, & tell tales about his work & methods as a stock detective. At some point, Ms. Kimmel said the eldest Miller son, Victor, confessed to her that he killed Willie Nickell, & Tom Horn was innocent, but it made no difference in the end. Horn was the hired enforcer of the big cattle companies, who wanted all the graze & water access they could get, & saw small-time ranchers as competition & undesirable squatters. The ranchers resented the big companies, & many occasionally rustled stock from them, both to get by, & as payment for their harassment & unfair treatment. The jury members at Horn's trial were all small ranchers, who hated & feared Horn, & wanted him gone by any means possible. So, they convicted Horn of the killing & sentenced him to hang, which he did, & also shielded the Miller boy for his unfortunate mistake. Horn was no angel by a long shot, but he likely died for a crime he didn't commit.
Well, that's what some say. And some say otherwise. Many doubt that he killed the boy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Horn
@WillnichtRein Do you think it was also a case where the ranchers needed a fall guy?
King of cool making cowboy life cool
One of the true cult westerns as good as anything out there , Tom Horn a true western legend , A Man Of His Time , was betrayed by those who used his unique talents for their own greedy ends
Classic movie 🤓🙋♂️❤👍 , i hope everyone has a wonderful New Year 👍
The one and only Steve Mcqueen. I was a small boy when my mother took me to the cinema. I barely remember but thats ok I became a McQueen fan.
Tom Horn
A true classic in every way.
Steve McQueen was so f**king cool 😊
@colettemccoy2921 Seems he was a stubborn little cuss as well.
Wow 😲 nice movie 👍👍👍
Really was a great actor, an actual star.
How of the best westerns ever made
The wrangler for this movie said he'd never seen a man-horse bond like Steve and his horse Buster. The horse literally followed him everywhere on location, slept tethered outside McQueen's motor home.
great movie
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
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
@ good for you, rather lucky for you; i have searched my streaming services alas not to be found. But one is confident i shall find it soon, (fingers crossed)
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.

Muy buena película
Always tickles me how derssed up all these guys were in these movies ... ties and jackets and what-not. Quite fashionable ...
I have the book "life of Tom horn". It's his autobiography he wrote while waiting to be hanged. What's special about the copy I have is it's a "Lakside Classic" copy. Basically the printing company once a year as a Christmas special picks a autobiography or memoir, fact checks or finds more information about dates, times, and places, and adds the footnotes at the bottom of pages to elaborate on the story being told. In 1987 the printed "life of Tom Horn". My grandparents both worked a the printing company that ran the "lakside classic' series and every year fromthe 1st year they worked there til the year they die they get whatever book they print that year. Almost every print is a banger and super interesting...
Anyways, Tom Horn was one tough son of a bitch. Did his fair share of scouting, Indian fighting, was a mule packer in the Spanish American War and really was a western folk hero. A legend in his own time. But he was a real brutal dude. After reading "Life of Tom Horn" it's pretty evident to me that he killed that boy. I don't think he meant to. But I'd bet anything he did it. I say that because in the foot notes of the "Lakeside Classic" print the researchers found a lot of inconsistencies in Horns stories. Horn puts himself right in the middle of certain places and events he could have never been in during his career as and indian fighter and scout for the army. He embellished quiye a bit and left out a lot of things that would shine a bad light on him.
On a side note. The memoir is unfinished. They hung him before he could finish it. It ends very abruptly. Like they made him stop right in the middle of the sentence to walk him to the gallows. Tounget a visceral feeling when you get ti
O the end and you know its not finished and you know why.
Fantastic

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.
Tom Horn, cow cop.
Tom Horn worked for big ranchers to eliminate the competition by murder.
In my country we have a saying. To be as tired as a horse after a Western.;-)
I personally like McCloud with Dennis Weaver.
The real Horn ended up on the end of a rope.
8:33 So that’s the cut where the steaks come from when the customer says when asked, “And how would you like that done?” and they reply, “Just knock the horns off it.”
Jeez! Are those wild hog tusks? Not horns?!
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.
That's how cowards normally deal with heroes. Ask Caesar. 🤔
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.
This is a great movie and Steve MCQueen rocked a 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.

@@Bayan1905 He would have to be acquitted nowadays because there are a boatload of court precedents that didn't exist back then. Back then you could throw everything and the kitchen sink at suspects and it would be admissible in court.
@@tballstaedt7807 The movie didn't start from the beginning, when cattle rustlers burned down his home in New Mexico or wherever he was living. That started a vendetta and I don't think he really cared after that event. Someone who worked with him said he had some wickedness in him and enjoyed killing people. But if the movie portrayed him like that, it wouldn't be as likeable of a character.
Nowadays they would have been released on bail the next day with no punishment... ah the good ole days. Instant justice
They framed him because he was doing his job uncorupted.
We had two horses, one named Tom Horn, the other Kentucky Teddy
Snake fastest karayam in the word!ready fight.🎉🎉🎉

The hunter was his last film.
Kinda hard to sneak up on a guy when you're wearing bells on your boots....
Tom horn got hung. But the people who gave the orders went free.
Me too
Do you think the real Tom Horn would have left his jingle jangle spurs on?
Looks like he’s a right handed shooter using his left eye to aim. He wouldn’t hit anything aiming like that.
Come on WB, we need the 4K Tom Horn
When movies were a story. Not a political statement
@@theoutdoorspeople911 Not really, he was hanged in the movie and in real life, he didn't just walk away in either case. It also decently follows along with what actually happened, for the most part. It wasn't just a made up story like Death Wish. On the other hand, with the way the court system has evolved, we are going to have to enforce our own rules if things keep going the way they are. It's gotten to the point where it's nearly impossible to convict someone of a crime, even repeat offenders. Deferred sentences are just handed out to everybody, and that's if the case wasn't already dropped. We have career criminals continuing to commit violent crimes because the court system isn't doing their job. Some of these criminals killed people, beat the charges or got a slap on the wrist, and they are out there killing people again. This is unacceptable and if it keeps going on like this, people are going to start doing something about it.
"You're gonna hang Tom !
Tom says,
can't hurt a Christian."
What is the name of the movie buddy?
Can you ear tattoo like we did years ago for the county fair? At some point the the rightful owner would have to claim them, or have a bill of sale handy to prove ownership
they didn't show the best scene when Roy jenson kills Horn's horse and McQueen goes apeshit
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 !!
Any good ????
8:33 So, where's the shot?!
A few seconds earlier. 8:24. Double shot?
What would become of the horse with the saddles still on.
They’d eventually drift back home. They’re like dogs, they have a really good sense of direction.
Horses have an uncanny ability to find their way home.

This just a movie. In reality, Tom Horn was hired by big ranchers to run off or kill farmers who purchased land from the US government and fenced it in to keep the rancher's cattle out of their crops.
The ranchers grew wealthy grazing their cattle for free on open range land owned by the US government. As more and more farmers purchased land from the government and fenced it in to protect their crops from free ranging cattle, less and less open range for the ranchers to graze their cattle was available, so the ranchers had to have smaller herds. Rather than doing the right thing and purchasing the range land from the government for themselves, the big ranchers started a range war by hiring gunmen such as Tom Horn to run farmers off or kill the farmers who refused to leave. Most state, territory, and local politicians sided with the ranchers against the farmers because the ranchers financed their election and re-election campaigns. The ranchers justified hiring gunmen to kill farmers who refused to leave by falsely designating the farmers as "rustlers".
Baik ar Tom Tanduk
That was a cheesy depiction of Tom Horn and the costumes were not too authentic.
Actually the costumes are quite authentic. My parents grew up in Wyoming, my brother now lives there and I went to college there. It gets damn cold and people wear all kinds of wool. My mom still remembers her grandpa wearing his wooly chaps to ride horses.
This movie has some of the most authentic attire I've seen in any western. It's definitely more realistic than your typical John Wayne movie or Spaghetti western.
The depiction of Horn wasn't even close to his real life and the attire wasn't that great my friend . Looked like he just walked from a clothing store and Horn never wore a hat like that. It was better than Waynes later movies for sure.
