Unforgiven 1992

Synopsis:

UNFORGIVEN is an exciting modern classic that rode off with four 1992 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Director. "The movie summarized everything I feel about the Western," Eastwood told the Los Angeles Times. "The moral is the concern with gunplay." Eastwood and Morgan Freeman play retired, down-on-their-luck outlaws who pick up their guns one last time to collect a bounty offered by the vengeful prostitutes of the remote Wyoming town of Big Whiskey. Richard Harris is an ill-fated interloper, a colorful killer-for-hire called English Bob. Best Supporting Actor winner Gene Hackman is the sly and brutal local sheriff whose brand of law enforcement ranges from unconventional to ruthless. Big trouble is coming to Big Whiskey.

Won: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Hackman), Best Film Editing, 1993 Academy Awards; Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Motion Pictures, 1993 DGA Awards
Nominated: Best Actor in a Leading Role (Eastwood), Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen, Best Cinematography, Best Sound, Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, 1993 Academy Awards
Review:

"A majestic, misanthropic western finds the movies' flintiest icon musing on his own legend." -- Richard Corliss, TIME
