This dvd is superb. Appaloosa is a Western film based on novel Appaloosa by crime writer Robert B. Parker.
It stars Ed Harris (who also directs the film), and Viggo Mortensen (of Lord Of The Rings fame).
Appaloosa is centred around lawman Virgil Cole (played by Ed Harris) and his sidekick Everett Hitch (played by Viggo Mortensen), who are two friends who are hired to defend a lawless 1880s town from a murderous rancher - Randall Bragg (played by Jeremy Irons).
Their efforts are disrupted and their friendship is tested by the arrival of an attractive widow - Allie French (played by Renée Zellweger of Bridget Jones fame).
Well worth watching.
