Frontier Crucible, the Plot of the Movie

Frontier Crucible is an upcoming western thriller movie. The plot is set in 1870 Arizona: a former soldier (Myles Clohessy) haunted by his past allies himself with three outlaws (Thomas Jane, Armie Hammer, and Ryan Masson) and a beautiful woman (Mary Stickley) with her injured husband (Eli Brown). They must survive the elements and the hostilities of the frontier.

“You would never survive going that way. There’s nothing but enemies,” one of the outlaws advises the soldier in the released trailer. A scene follows where the four men are about to draw their pistols and shoot each other, but then they stop. “Let’s see how bravely you’ll die,” declares an Apache.
