Synopsis

Jesse James (Brad Pitt), the infamous outlaw of the 1870s, was the object of awe and fascination. A wronged and wounded Confederate soldier, his tragic cause drove him to strike back at the Union who he held accountable for ruining his life. A criminal in the eyes of the people he terrorized and murdered, he was seen as a charismatic hero, the last frontiersman championing a cause for freedom who held the law in contempt and grew into a legend.

Based on the novel by Ron Hansen the year is 1881 and Jesse James is 34 years old. While evading lawmen and bounty hunters he is preparing plans for his next big robbery but one of his inner circle, 19 year-old Robert Ford (Casey Affleck), will shoot his idol in the back and end the life of this legend. What happened between these two in the days and hours leading up to the fatal gunshot fired by someone he trusted the most?

No one will ever know the whole truth.
