Based on the classic novel by John Williams, Butcher’s Crossing is a gripping, visceral tale of ambition, survival, and humanity’s clash with nature. Set against the untamed backdrop of the 1870s American frontier, this Western drama explores the limits of obsession and the cost of the American Dream.

Nicholas Cage stars as Miller, a grizzled buffalo hunter who leads a young Harvard dropout, Will Andrews (played by Fred Hechinger), on a dangerous expedition to find a legendary herd of buffalo hidden deep in the Colorado wilderness. What begins as a quest for fortune soon turns into a harrowing journey of survival, as the group battles brutal weather, dwindling resources, and their own unraveling psyches.

 With stunning cinematography capturing the beauty and brutality of the wild, Butcher’s Crossing is a story of human greed, the relentless pursuit of nature’s bounties, and the moral price of taming the wilderness.
 In the end, nature doesn’t forgive, and the frontier doesn’t forget.
