Based on the seminal novel by John Edward Williams, Butcher’s Crossing is an epic frontier adventure that follows a young Harvard dropout, Will Andrews (FRED HECHINGER, News of the World, HBO’s The White Lotus), into the Colorado wilderness as he joins a team of buffalo hunters lead by Miller (Academy Award winner NICOLAS CAGE) in search of a mythic herd of buffalo.
Little does he know, the journey will put his life and sanity at risk as they drive further into the Rocky Mountains. The adventure is both sublime and horrific, where a confrontation with dark truth leads to a descent into madness.
Butcher’s Crossing is a riveting exploration of human nature, obsession, masculinity, and man’s relationship to his natural environment.
