Academy Award®-winning visionary filmmaker Kevin Costner (Dances with Wolves) returns to direct and star in a multi-faceted chronicle, spanning 15 years of pre-and post-Civil War expansion and settlement of the American West.

Experienced through the eyes of many, the epic journey is fraught with peril and intrigue and explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won—and lost—through blood, sweat and tears. A story of America too big for one film, this true cinematic event will be continued with a second chapter due to be released later this year.
