Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bruce Willis took this role right after Moonlighting made him famous, desperate to prove he could carry films—he fought hard against the cowboy image.
The real Tom Mix died in a car crash in 1940; this film's elegiac tone accidentally mirrors how Hollywood devours and memorializes its own.
