The Quick and the Dead

Director Sam Raimi's off-the-wall, darkly funny sagebrush drama stars Sharon Stone as "the Lady," a lovely and lethal gunslinger who enters a frontier town's deadly quick-draw competition as part of her search for the man who killed her father. Gene Hackman shines as John Herod, the villain who controls both the contest and the town; with Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Pat Hingle, Lance Henriksen. 105 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
