Monte Walsh

Year: 2003

Country: USA

Plot: Monte Walsh and Chet Rollins are long-time cowhands, working whatever ranch work comes their way, but "nothing they can't do from a horse." Their lives are divided between months on the range and the occasional trip into town. Monte has a long-term relationship with prostitute Martine Bernard, while Chet has fallen under the spell of the widow who owns the hardware store. Camaraderie and competition with the other cowboys fill their days, until one of the hands, Shorty Austin, loses his job and gets involved in rustling and killing. Then Monte and Chet find that their lives on the range are inexorably redirected.Set in the late 1800s, the movie follows Monte Walsh, a cowboy struggling to continue the life he knows while seeing the new era nudge the cowboy way toward history's dustbin. Alas, the advance of civilization has all but rendered Monte and his comrades obsolete, and with the increasing corporate buy-ups of Wyoming land, these relics of the Old West have practically nowhere else to go.
