What happens

Wanda Nevada is a 1979 American Western film directed by Peter Fonda, who co-stars alongside Brooke Shields as the eponymous character, with Fiona Lewis, Luke Askew and Ted Markland in supporting roles. This was Fonda's last feature film as director. Henry Fonda makes a cameo appearance as an Arizona prospector, making it the only film to feature the father and son together. Peter Fonda reportedly paid Henry $1,000 for one day's work on the film after receiving a call from his father that he was out of work. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
