The Long Riders is Hill’s version of the story of the James-Younger gang. Held as heroes by many, and much celebrated for its attacks upon the railroad, the gang became the most famous band of outlaws in the country. They were eventually brought to ruin by the Pinkerton detective agency, losing many of their number in the ill-fated Northfield, Minnesota bank raid. Four sets of real-life brothers - the Carradines, the Keachs, the Quaids and the Guests - star in this classic western. (Via Vision Entertainment)

Naturally, The Long Riders are brought out by a unique cast – the James brothers are played by the authentic brothers James and Stacy Keach, the Younger clan, in turn, by Robert, Keith and David Carradine, then we have the Miller brothers with Randy and Dennis Quaid and, finally, the brothers Ford by Nicholas and Christopher Guest. This is such a realistic set! Apart from that, it’s a relatively conventional western with a bunch of rather tough scenes. Nothing to complain about.
