“In the picture of that huge romantic West that he saw in his imagination, these dissensions made the one note of harsh colour that refused to enter into the great scheme of harmony.”
The brutal 1880 conflict between wheat farmers and the mighty Southern Pacific Railroad inspired this gripping American classic.
In this sweeping saga set in early 20th century California, hardworking wheat farmers wage a relentless battle against the insatiable Pacific and Southwestern Railroad. With control over the land, legislature, and even their own representative, the farmers face a heartrending struggle against unyielding greed and treachery in their fight for survival.
