Hailed by many as a masterpiece, and universally acclaimed by critics, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford tells the story of one of America’s earliest and most infamous outlaws and the obsessed fan who destroyed him.
Superbly made and utterly gripping and with truly outstanding performances from Brad Pitt (Venice Film Festival – Best Actor) and Casey Affleck (Academy Award – nomination for Best Supporting Actor), The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford will be available on blu-ray and DVD on 31st March.
Everyone in 1880s America knows Jesse James. He’s the nation’s most notorious criminal, hunted by the law in 10 states. He’s also the land’s greatest hero, lauded as a Robin Hood by the public. Robert Ford, meanwhile, is a nobody. That, however, isn’t something the ambitious 19 year old will settle for. He’ll befriend Jesse, join his gang and gain his confidence and eventually become his downfall.
Friendship turns to rivalry and the quest for fame becomes obsession in this gripping epic produced by Ridley Scott, examining the last days of America’s most famous outlaw, and featuring outstanding performances by Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck.
