The Great Blizzard of 1899 proves especially cold for the
townspeople of Snow Hill, Utah. The tiny
hamlet is surrounded by murderous outlaws who’ve taken refuge in the mountains,
or so the local authorities would have the citizenry believe. These so-called outlaws are merely poor people
who’ve been forced to fend for themselves.
To make matters worse, a price has been placed on each of their
heads. The bounty hunters looking to
collect are a rather dishonorable bunch, led by a bloodthirsty rogue known only
as Loco (Klaus Kinski). In this snowy
wasteland, a gunslinger known as Silence (Jean-Louis Trintignant) proves to be
the only salvation for those seeking true justice.
