Marshal John Towne is tracking outlaws when he meets a lost Navajo boy. Together, they fight their way across the Arizona territory in a bid to get him home.
Stagecoach reimagines the John Ford classic with a cast unlike any other Johnny Cash (Murder in Coweta County, North & South), the legendary InchMan in BlackInch immortalized in song and subject of the Oscar-winning biopic Walk the Line, Willie Nelson (Honeysuckle Rose, The Electric Horseman, Barbarosa), Kris Kristofferson (A Star Is Born, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, Convoy), and Waylon Jennings (Nashville Rebel, The Dukes of Hazzard, Maverick) - country music's legendary Highwaymen - riding together for the first and only time on screen. This made-for-TV Western follows a mismatched band of passengers rattling through Apache territory, where danger, betrayal, and redemption wait around every bend. Directed by Ted Post (Hang 'Em High, Magnum Force, Beneath the Planet of the Apes), the film blends classic frontier grit with the outlaw charisma of four music icons who lived as boldly as the characters they portray. Supporting performances deepen the journey June Carter Cash (The Last Days of Frank and Jesse James, The Apostle) brings resilience; Elizabeth Ashley (Happiness, The Carpetbaggers, Evening Shade) adds complexity; and Anthony Newley (Doctor Dolittle, Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?, Oliver Twist) delivers dramatic weight. Mary Crosby (Dallas, The Ice Pirates, The Legend of Zorro) and Tony Franciosa (A Hatful of Rain, Tenebre, A Face in the Crow) round out the ensemble, giving this retelling both Hollywood presence and musical soul. A unique collaboration between film and country music history, Stagecoach (1986) captures the mythic spirit of the West while adding it's own iconic twist - a rare chance to see Cash, Nelson, Kristofferson, and Jennings share the screen as legends on horseback.
