The End -- A fugitive is forced by circumstances to face the worst decision of his life.

The End -- The End is about home, limbo and self discovery.

Randolph Scott is tougher than boot leather in this wild Western. The four Canfield brothers leave the South after the Civil War and one of them (Scott) takes a job on the Santa Fe Railroad. While he leads an honest, hard-working life, his brothers turn bad.

Burt Reynolds stars as a man who loses his will to live after he learns that he has only three months to live. At first he seeks solace from a priest (Reynolds' first confessional in 20 years). The priest's celestial comment is "Wow!" Reynolds attempts suicide -- and fails, waking up from his effort in an insane asylum. He urges a schizophrenic fellow patient to do him in. Failure. Reynolds' doomed journey of self-destruction will encounter Sally Field, Dom DeLuise, Joanne Woodward, Carl Reiner, Kristy McNichol, Robby Benson, Myrna Loy, Pat O'Brien and others. In the end, the "life force" prevails. And Reynolds decides to live, if even for the few months he has left. Burt Reynolds directed himself in this dark, yet often farcical comedy. Music by Paul Williams.
