About Shootout at Big Sag
A man has his eyes set on controlling the Big Sag territory in Montana and hopes to achieve his goal by forcing a newly-arrived family from Texas from their land. Hoping to convince the local saloonkeeper to help him, the man sends his daughter into town with instructions for his potential partner. A storm waylays the daughter during her trip to town and she is forced to stay at the home of her father's intended victims, leading to an interesting turn or two.
Directed by Roger Kay, Shootout at Big Sag leans on a strong ensemble — Walter Brennan, Leif Erickson, Luana Patten — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1962.

Ivey fights back with violence and destruction, but Dave is determined to counter him legally... a feeling not shared by his associates.
