The Far Country background

The Far Country

A cowboy embarks on a perilous journey across the American West, driven by his determination to reach the legendary gold rush town of Dawson, where he must confront a ruthless sheriff in a showdown that will test his resolve.

The Klondike gold rush of 1896 sets the stage for a ruthless cattle baron, Jeff Webster, to stake his claim to a fortune. He drives a herd from Wyoming to Dawson, overcoming obstacles and adversaries, including a corrupt town boss. Along the way, Jeff and his partner, Ben Tatum, turn their attention to gold mining, while two women fall for Jeff's rough-around-the-edges charm. But as lawlessness grows, Jeff's every-man-for-himself philosophy is tested, forcing him to confront the harsh realities of the gold rush.
