Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the only film to feature all four Highwaymen — Willie, Waylon, Johnny, and Kris — though they ironically share few scenes together.
Made for CBS during the 1980s western revival, this remake proves some classics should stay untouched — even by country music royalty.
