What happens

Monte Walsh is a 2003 American Western television film directed by Simon Wincer and starring Tom Selleck, Isabella Rossellini, and Keith Carradine. It based on Jack Schaefer's 1963 novel and is a remake of the 1970 film starring Lee Marvin. Monte Walsh is the quintessential cowboy—the last of a dying breed. His story takes place in the waning years of the "Old West" near the end of the 19th century. Two long-time cowboys, Monte and his best friend Chet, have their lives on the range inexorably changed by the coming modernity and a fellow cowboy who becomes involved with rustling, robbery, and killing. This is the third collaboration between Wincer and Selleck, following Quigley Down Under in 1990 and Crossfire Trail in 2001. The film premiered on TNT on January 17, 2003.
