When the citizens of a Midwest town learn that a corrupt railroad baron intends to force them off their land in the name of progress, a group of young farmers join forces to reclaim what is rightfully theirs.

But none is more notorious, revered or feared than their leader, a charismatic young outlaw by the name of Jesse James (Colin Farrell).

Critics' reviews

"It's a handsome and skillful retelling of a legend that imaginatively draws on conventions of both the western and the gangster movie"

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"It's a sad day for film lovers when the best thing that can be said about a Western is that it's pleasant."

Chris Kaltenbach: Baltimore Sun
"For years there have been reports of the death of the Western. Now comes American Outlaws, proof that even the B Western is dead."

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
