Oscar-winning 1992 Western directed by, and starring, Clint Eastwood as a retired gunslinger with a lawless reputation he'd rather forget. Co-stars Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman, who earned himself an Academy Award for his performance. Ranked as the fourth-best Western of all time by the American Film Institute in 2008.

With his wife gone and his crop-tending skills lacking, Munny reluctantly goes with the young buck for one last kill…
