Plot: This six-hour miniseries, based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Larry McMurtry, revitalized both the miniseries and Western genres, both of which had been considered dead for several years. Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones star as fun-loving Gus MacRae and taciturn Woodrow Call, respectively, a pair of longtime friends and former Texas Rangers who crave one last adventure before they bow to their advancing years. Convinced that animals will thrive on the lush grasslands of Montana, Woodrow persuades Gus to undertake the arduous, 3,000-mile cattle drive there. Rounding up over a thousand head from Mexican rustlers south of the border, the men recruit a diverse crew of hands to help them. Among the party are Woodrow's illegitimate son Newt Dobbs (Rick Schroeder), local prostitute Lorena Wood (Diane Lane), and old compatriots Joshua Deets (Danny Glover), Jake Spoon (Robert Urich), and Pea Eye Parker (Tim Scott). Storms, hostile natives, poisonous snakes, and rustlers take their toll on the company before Montana is reached in an adventure that is equal parts Greek tragedy and classic, John Ford-style oater. Originally developed in the 1970s as a script by McMurtry for director Peter Bogdanovich and stars Henry Fonda, John Wayne, and James Stewart, Lonesome Dove earned 18 Emmy nominations and inspired a pair of miniseries sequel as well as two attempts at an ongoing television series. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Best western I've ever seen, awesome

Don't look this when you're depressed and alone. It may land upon you quite hard. This fascinating but stirring story line has no happy end. The realism is uncompromising.

Best Ever
Added 11/12/2009
I had never watched Lonesome Dove. I have heard about it many times but never had any interest in watching it. My step father watched this movie 2 to 3 times a week on an old tape he had made. I didn't understand the desire. I recently helped them upgrade their video equipment. I then ordered the movie and before I gave it to him, I watched it. I was memorized and I didn't want to wait until the next day to finish it. Now I am planning on watching it again and very soon. It takes a hold of you never lets you go. There are not many movies out there that can say that!

Lonesome Dove in widescreen
Added 11/5/2009
The widescreen, remastered, 5.1 version is terrific. Over the years I have owned the VHS, 4:3 DVD, and now the 16:9 DVD with 5.1 surround sound. This last version is like seeing it for the first time and the special features make you want to see it again. This is the greatest Western of all time, now presented as it should be, in movie quality. The book is even better.
