"The Shadow Riders" is one of the best-selling American writer Louis L'Amour's most beloved films, and among the most popular Western movies in the last 25 years: now in a fully digitally-restored edition, with multiple extra features, for old and new fans alike. The timeless Western tale of two brothers Mac, a Yankee (Tom Selleck) and Dal, a rebel (Sam Elliott), who return home to Texas at the close of the Civil War, only to discover that their sisters, and Dal's spirited sweetheart Kate (Katherine Ross), have been kidnapped by a band of renegades, who are on a rampage path towards Mexico. Now, with the help of their notorious uncle (Academy Award(R)-winner Ben Johnson), they must rescue the women before they're sold into a Mexican brothel. Also featuring Western icons R.G. Armstrong and Harry Carey Jr., "The Shadow Riders" is a classic old-time action from acclaimed director Andrew McLaglen ("Shenandoah," "The Way West," "Chisum" and "Bandolero"). In 1983, President Ronald Reagan presented Louis L'Amour with the Congressional Gold Medal, making him the first American novelist to receive such an honor. L'Amour had written 87 books and sold over 190 million copies.
