Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack Spanish; English Subtitles Director Uli Edel (BODY OF EVIDENCE) helmed this tale of the Old West in 1999. Set in a town called Refuge, Wild Bill Hickok (Sam Shepard), Doc Holliday (Randy Quaid), and Jesse James (J.D. Souther) are among the inhabitants, even though they've long since passed away. The town is actually Purgatory, a middle ground for reckless outlaws who must prove themselves to be worthy of a place in Heaven, or face an eternity rotting in the pit of Hell. No one who resides in Refuge is allowed to carry a gun, nor is there any jail, or even swearing. So when a wild bunch of desperados turn up, led by Blackjack Britton (Eric Roberts), they are surprised at what they find. Britton and his men soon realize they are among some illustrious company, and set about taking the town for their own. The TNT channel originally aired this compelling sci-fi western that saddles up its horse and rides out of town to a satisfyingly explosive conclusion.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Very Good Movie
Purgatory is one of those movies that after the first time you see it you say to yourself "Wow. What did I just see happen." It's great to view again on a rainy afternoon and see the small things you missed before. The script might have been a little more polished but the author's imagination and insight into the greatest human mystery is wonderful.

One of the best westerns to date
This was first shown on TNT as a made for tv movie. I was so happy to see it on DVD.
The plot is one that you will always remember and the acting is super. This movie keeps your interest from the very beginning to the very end and the action at the end is truly a gun fight equal to the movies High Noon, Open Range and Silverado.
Anyone that loves Westerns as I do MUST have this in your collection.

Purgatory DVD Between somewhere and nowhere in the untamed West is the small town of Refuge. There, neither the sheriff nor his deputy carry a sidearm. There's no jail either, because shooting, carousing and bad blood are not in the town's character. What peaceful folks live there? Wild Bill Hickok. Doc Holliday. Jesse James. Billy the Kid. All long dead. All mysteriously given a chance to undo their violent pasts in Purgatory. All put to a stern test when Blackjack and his ornery gang ride into town.

A girl kneels over the grave of her murdered dog, praying for a miracle, while off in the distance, a man rides toward town on a pale horse. Clint Eastwood's PALE RIDER was the filmmaker's first Western in nearly a decade. It finds a pleasant balance between the mystical revisionism of films such as HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER and the traditional Western. Eastwood stars as the Preacher, who wanders into a dusty California town and tries to rescue a community of gold prospectors that is being terrorized by the local corporate mining operation, which is strip-mining the land. He's taken in by Hull Barrett (Michael Moriarty), who lives with Sarah Wheeler (Carrie Snodgrass) and her 14-year-old daughter, she of the murdered pooch, Megan (Sydney Penny). The Preacher is something ...

When the mayor is assassinated, the Angel Arms decide to protect the city's most powerful crime lord, hoping that he will provide them the information to bring down the international terror ring that plagues the city.
