Academy Award® winner Kirk Douglas ignites the screen with one of his most personal roles as a cowboy on a collision course with the modern world in Lonely are the Brave. After landing himself in jail trying to break out his friend, Jack Burns (Douglas) finds himself alone and on the run from the law. Leading the manhunt is Sheriff Morey Johnson (Walter Matthau), who must bring Burns to justice despite his own sympathy for the fugitive. Co-starring Gena Rowlands, George Kennedy and Carroll O'Connor, Lonely are the Brave is an unforgettable portrait of a lawless man defying life in an orderly world.

A free-spirit cowboy escapes from jail and heads out on horseback for the mountains - but this is a new age, and the law uses modern technology in their manhunt. With Walter Matthau.

Oscar winner Kirk Douglas, Walter Matthau, Gena Rowlands and Carol O'Connor star in this unforgettable, dramatic portrait of a lawless cowboy on a collision course with the modern world.

Film icon Kirk Douglas is cast as a rough renegade cowboy whose individualistic ways are out of sync with the times in modern-day New Mexico. A thought-provoking drama that eulogizes the death of the West as it succumbs to modernity and codes of law.
