See the films the platforms disagree about most →In the early 1900s, a retired colonel lives in the remote wilderness of Montana with his three sons. Their lives are shaped by love, rivalry, and the sweeping changes of the century. The arrival of a beautiful young woman disrupts the family's dynamic, as each of the brothers falls for her, creating a rift that is further torn apart by war, betrayal, and the clash between their wild spirits and the constraints of civilization.
