The Moonlighter background

The Moonlighter

A former cattle herder turned outlaw flees a vengeful mob and rekindles a passionate connection with a former love.

In the early 1900s, a cowboy named Wes Anderson is arrested for moonlighting and must escape a lynch mob while seeking revenge against those who wronged him. Along the way, he reunites with his sweetheart Rela, who is now engaged to his brother Tom. The brothers join forces to rob a bank, but things take a turn when they're pursued by the sheriff's posse. In a surprising twist, Rela joins the posse, putting her in a difficult position between her love for the brothers and her duty to bring them to justice.
