Vividly photographed on rugged, sparsely settled locations, UNFORGIVEN brings an unsparingly realistic view of the American West to the screen as a former gunfighter and thief (Clint Eastwood) struggles to come to terms with his past. Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and Richard Harris also star in this compelling story as part of a disparate group of men who must face in themselves and each other the honor and cruelty that forged the soul of the pioneers.
