In 1880 , two brothers (Scott Glenn and Kevin Costner) along with an unlikely comrade (Kevin Kline) and an African-American (Danny Glover) arrive in the Old West town named Silverado ruled by a nasty marshal (Brian Dennehy) , there they become embroiled in a violent feuding over a valuable patch of land and flock . Along the way, Emmett finds a man, Paden, lying in the desert, having been robbed and left to die. If you want to be thoroughly entertained for a couple of hours, and don't require powerful social import in your viewing choices, I'd recommend Silverado strongly. A coverup and witchhunt occur after a politician accidentally kills his mistress. Mr. Kasdan has packed his action well against the fearsomely long, dusty stretches of Western plain. A mysterious preacher (Clint Eastwood) protects a humble prospector village from a greedy mining company trying to encroach on their land. An all-star cast makes SILVERADO one of the most fun movies I've ever see. Jake is hunted by Tyree, Cobb's right hand, but Jake outsmarts and shoots him dead. What distinguishes Kasdan's telling of it is the style and energy he brings to the project. A group of young gunmen, led by Billy the Kid, become deputies to avenge the murder of the rancher who became their benefactor. He wanted to keep his friendship with his old friend played by Brian Dennehy. Take it for what it is, on that level.

The genre had pretty much died, but came back in Silverado, and it felt so fresh. In 1880, four men travel together to the city of Silverado. Contact Sony/Columbia Pictures and demand a sequel. His first line is an all-time great, right up there with Tommy Lee Jones' "My my, what a mess" in The Fugitive (I won't quote it, in case you haven't seen the film).
Oh well, everyone went on to better work. Like other directors who failed to watch the above films and note that the genre is complete, Lawrence Kasdan took his shot at it with "Silverado" and the result is a train wreck. [24], The film premiered in cinemas on July 9, 1985 in wide release throughout the United States.
