Editorial Review:
Louis L'Amour's easy voice with its gentle rhythm sets the tone and pace of the film in a spoken introduction to this loping, rambling three-hour-plus TV-movie adaptation of his novels The Daybreakers and Sackett. Sam Elliot stars as the elder Sackett, a nomad hunting and trapping in the mountains who happens upon an ancient treasure. Tom Selleck and Jeff Osterhage are his younger siblings, forced to leave home to avoid a Hatfield and McCoy situation. As the Sackett brothers wind their way across the Midwest prairies and mountains we join them on cattle drives and gold hunts, in gunfights and fistfights, and in a climactic showdown as they find their place in the world. This 1979 film rambles and meanders like a lazy river winding through a beautiful landscape of peaks and plains and forests, punctuated by the occasional gunfight and enlivened by a story that celebrates both the open range and the taming of the towns. Elliot looks almost young but flashes his savage eyes behind a thick black beard, while Selleck's easygoing manner is backed up with a stony-faced determination. The excellent cast includes a veritable who's who of Western character actors: Glenn Ford, Ben Johnson, Gilbert Roland, Gene Evans, Jack Elam, Slim Pickens, L.Q. Jones, Mercedes McCambridge, and Pat Buttram. Followed in 1982 by The Shadow Riders, which reunited the three stars and even a few members of the supporting cast in a tale of three different brothers. --Sean Axmaker

Rating:  - The Sacketts/ Crossfire Trail
As always we received the DVD's in record time from USA. Both DVD's were excellent and as they were from Louis L'Amour's books which my husband has all of his books, we did enjoy the films.
We like buying off Amazon as we know we will get a good product.
Thank You

Rating: - The Sacketts
Louis L'Amour story with Sam Elliott and Tom Selleck is for me a winning collection. This was purchased to add to our collection.
Rating: - Classic Westerns
The "Sacketts" series on dvd is a fine representation of
the Western sagas, as is always the case when any film or
series is made from the writings of the Master of Westerns,
Louis L'Amour. It is a very good addition to any Western
film library.
Rating: - Great Western
I think Louis L'Amour's Western books are some of the best ever written, and this movie is about as close to the book as you can get.
