UNFORGIVEN (1992)

Special Features: AFI’s 100 Years...100 Movies

A group of prostitutes seeks revenge for their mutilated friend by offering a bounty for her attacker in this landmark revisionist Western, starring, directed and produced by Clint Eastwood. Eastwood plays William Munny, an aging gunslinger who has put his violent past behind him and lives quietly as a farmer with his two small children. His past comes calling in the form of the Schofield Kid (Jaimz Woolvett), who makes him an offer he can’t refuse. Munny enlists the aid of old friend Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman) and crosses paths with sadistic sheriff “Little” Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman). The film was nominated for nine Academy Awards®, winning Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing and Best Supporting Actor for Hackman, who nearly did not take the role because it was too violent. He eventually agreed and turned in one of the most powerful performances of his career. DIR/PROD Clint Eastwood; SCR David Webb Peoples. U.S., 1992, color, 131 min. RATED R
