Larry McMurtry's Comanche Moon

1858, Augustus McCrae (Steve Zahn) and Woodrow Call (Karl Urban) join a small troop of Texas Rangers under the leadership of Captain Inish Scull (Val Kilmer) in pursuit of three outlaws: the celebrated Comanche horse thief Kicking Wolf; the Comanche Chief Buff alo Hump; and the notorious Mexican bandit Ahumado, feared for the torture he infl icts on his prisoners. When Kicking Wolf steals the Captain’s war horse Scull decides to continue on foot and reclaim his prized mount. Promoting McCrae and Call to Captains he instructs them to ensure the Rangers’ safe return to Austin. Together, McCrae and Call struggle to balance their personal lives with the responsibilities of Rangers, as they go in search of Scull and defend the western frontier against the defi ant Comanches.
