"The Long Riders" is a 1980 Western directed by Walter Hill. It was produced by James Keach, Stacy Keach and Tim Zinnemann and featured an original soundtrack by Ry Cooder. Cooder won the "Best Music" award in 1980 from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards for this soundtrack. The haunting rendition of "I'm A Good Ole Rebel" is considered by some to be one of the greatest modern era period pieces.

Plot

"The Long Riders" is a fictionalized account of the James-Younger gang.

Cast

"The Long Riders" is a notable film in part due to Hill's decision to cast four sets of actor brothers as the real-life sets of brothers:

*The Keaches: Jesse James (James) and Frank James (Stacy)
*The Carradines: Cole Younger (David), Jim Younger (Keith) and Bob Younger (Robert)
*The Quaids: Ed Miller (Dennis) and Clell Miller (Randy)
*The Guests: Charley Ford (Christopher) and Robert Ford (Nicholas)

It also features an uncredited appearance by Ever Carradine, daughter of Robert Carradine and niece to David and Keith Carradine.

Trivia

Some of the movie, especially the Northfield scene was shot in Parrott, Georgia.
