The Old West has fought over many things. Gold mines, land property, railroads, and even over water sources. The film Gunfight at Dry River is a traditional western with gunfights in a town struggling to survive after the well dried up.

Here’s the official synopsis:

The closing years of the nineteenth century Old West. Gunfight at Dry River tells the story of a Mexican border town ravaged by severe drought, with the only water source controlled by a family of American renegades on the trailer for a legend of last gold. When a Mexican stranger arrives to reclaim his father’s land, a violent confrontation will cause the lives of all to be forever transformed.

The film stars Charlie Creed-Miles (The Fifth Element, Harry Brown), Michael Moriarty (Courage Under Fire, Law & Order), Ann Mitchell (The Deep Blue Sea, Widows), Joshua Dickinson, and Isabella Walker. Daniel Simpson directed the movie from the screenplay written by Fe Valen.
