Legends of the Fall

World War I tears apart a family of brothers in this epic Western drama. Alfred, Tristan, and Samuel Ludlow live in the rustic Montana wilderness, guided by their father who was a veteran of the late 19th century Indian Wars. Samuel returns home with his fiancée Susanna, but he soon leaves to volunteer for the Canadian Expeditionary Force when World War I begins. His brothers also volunteer to protect Samuel, but their efforts fail. Alfred and Tristan's postwar lives, centered on their love for Susanna, reveal the conflict between modernity, urbanization, and capitalism and the wilderness, self-sufficiency, and communal bonds that shaped the first third of the 20th century in America.
