Lawrence Kasdan's
Silverado is a fond hark back to the all-star, big-budget westerns of the 1950s and 1960s. The various plotlines converge at the town of Silverado, held in thrall by crooked sheriff
Brian Dennehy and his behemoth "deputies." The four disparate heroes--
Kevin Kline,
Kevin Costner,
Scott Glenn and
Danny Glover--prepare to do battle against
Dennehy for personal reasons ranging from mercenary to altruistic. Sidelines characters include duplicitous, dandified gambler
Jeff Goldblum, frontier widow
Rosanna Arquette and gimlet-eyed saloon owner
Linda Hunt. The film is stolen hands-down by
Kevin Costner, playing an irresponsible young gunslinger who never speaks when hootin' and hollerin' will do. A classic,
High Noon-style showdown caps this rousing retro western.
