Tommy Lee Jones and Hilary Swank Confront Danger on the Trail in a Clip From 'The Homesman' (Exclusive)
Tommy Lee Jones’ new film The Homesman is an unflinching look at the struggle of a life spent on the western plains in the 1830s, a Western without the flash and dashing heroics that made the genre a fanciful favorite in the 1930s and ’40s.
The unforgiving nature of frontier life, littered with disease, loneliness and abuse, drives three women mad, and it’s up to Hilary Swank’s steely heroine, Mary Bee Cuddy, to lead them back east. She enlists George Briggs, a scalawag who has seen it all, to accompany them during the long journey.

In this exclusive clip, Briggs and Cuddy encounter a group of Apache warriors, who might prove a dangerous obstacle. Briggs, as you can see above, does not sugarcoat the risk.
