The Outlaw Josey Wales Movie
Peaceful Missouri farmer Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood) is brutally attacked by pro-Union Jayhawkers during the Civil War. His beloved wife and his adorable son are murdered and his house is burned. Driven to get revenge on the people who took his loved ones, Josey joins a band of pro-Confederate guerillas. The Confederacy loses the war, but Wales refuses to lay down arms and becomes a dangerous outlaw who is pursued by a group of bloodthirsty bounty hunters. The lone revenge-seeker soon encounters a group of outcasts, Lone Watie (Chief Dan George), a sly old Cherokee man, Sarah (Paula Trueman), a vigorous elderly Yankee woman from Kansas and her granddaughter, Laura Lee (Sondra Locke), each of whom needs his protection.
