In 1982, Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott starred in the underrated Western The Shadow Riders.
The Big Picture While movie stars like Gary Cooper and Clint Eastwood have proven that some Westerns need only one great hero at the center of the story, many of the best films within the genre rely upon the chemistry between their stars. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid wouldn’t have worked without both Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Similarly, Western Rio Bravo needed the combined efforts of John Wayne, Dean Martin, and Walter Brennan to become renowned as a cinematic classic.
The film focuses on the brothers Mac and Dal Traven , who served on opposite sides during the Civil War. Mac had taken up arms for the Union, but Dal had stayed loyal to his family in Texas, and fought for the Confederacy. Despite being on opposing sides, there’s never the sense in The Shadow Riders that either brother is particularly politically motivated. In fact, Dal shows a genuine disdain for slavery and the other Confederate soldiers in their hometown.
Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott Play Against Type in 'The Shadow Riders' What makes The Shadow Riders such an interesting star vehicle for both Elliott and Selleck is that they are playing the opposite of what is expected of them. Anyone that has seen Selleck on Blue Bloods or in the Jesse Stone franchise may have expected him to be the downbeat, serious gunslinger with a strict adherence to the law. Surprisingly, Mac is more of the comic relief in the film.
