I watched this dvd and really enjoyed the storyline. As a longtime fan of Tom Selleck's I enjoyed his role as Thomas Magnum, P.I. and so seeing him in a western was a really cool change of pace. The plot is about two brothers at the end of the Civil War in 1865. Selleck's character is a union cavalry officer and his brother happens to be a sergeant in the confederate army. They reunite after the war's end and go home only to find out from their parents that their two younger sisters have been abducted by a renegade unit of rebel soldiers. So they team up to track their sisters and to find the men who are responsible. I also liked Sam Elliot's performance along with seeing his real life wife Katherine Ross in a strong supporting role. This is the second teaming up of Tom Selleck and Sam Elliot after having played brothers in Louis L'Amour's The Sacketts. Not a great movie by any means though an enjoyable one to watch for the performances.Read full review
Although the Civil War has driven a wedge between brothers Mac and Dal Tavern, they band together when their family and loved ones are taken hostage by a troop of Confederate renegades going to Mexico. Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott play Mac and Dal Tavern one an Union solider the other a Confederate Solider. Based on the Louis L'amour book Safe for the hole family. Sam Elliott, Tom Selleck, and Jeff Osterhage wanted to do another western together after they did The Sacketts (1979) (TV). They contacted "Sacketts" writer Louis L'Amour and asked him to write a story idea for them. This project was the result. Rating PG Running time 96 minutes Made in 1982 for T.V. Stars.....

Who doesn't love Sam Elliot and Tom Selleck?? They are easy on the eyes and are excellent actors... So cool, calm and collected. This movie is based on a Louis L'Amour novel. The story takes place at the end of the war in 1865. It's about two brothers that fought on opposite sides, who come together after the fighting ends to head home to Texas. There, they find that all is not well. The sisters have been taken by unscrupulous rebels! It is an exciting story showing that the bond among family is so strong that some will risk anything to save their loved ones. This is a great movie.
I saw this as a kid and it’s still just as enjoyable watching it as an adult. You can’t go wrong with Tom Selleck.

I have always loved this movie so I was thrilled to find this copy. Tom Selleck, Sam Elliott and Katherine Ross - what more can you ask for in a western?! What I also enjoyed was the producers commentary - the little things like an air conditioner showing up in one shot but the budget was too tight to reshoot the scene. I forgot this was a made-for-TV movie but it is excellent. It is funny, exciting and romantic all in it's own way and I highly recommend it!
Good film, great actors, family entertainment. Values and morals. Something missing today.
