Kevin Costner's "Imperfect But Deeply Involving" Western Masterpiece Officially Finds a New Streamer

Open Range, the 2003 Western directed by Kevin Costner, has found a new home on AMC+. The film, which stars Costner as Charley Waite, is described as a standout among modern Westerns, with Robert Duvall (Boss Spearman), Annette Bening (Sue Barlow), Michael Gambon (Denton Baxter), and Diego Luna (Button) among the supporting cast. The official synopsis says a former gunslinger is forced to take up arms again when a ruthless rancher threatens the peaceful life he built with his cattle-driving partner in the American West. The announcement comes as Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga recently opened in theaters to a weak response, but Open Range’s streaming debut highlights renewed interest in his earlier work.
