The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)

Poster for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Beyond the myth lies America's greatest betrayal

Outlaw Jesse James is rumored to be the 'fastest gun in the West'. An eager recruit into James' notorious gang, Robert Ford eventually grows jealous of the famed outlaw and, when Robert and his brother sense an opportunity to kill James, their murderous action elevates their target to near mythical status.
