Steve McQueen's Final Western Film, 'Tom Horn', Now Streaming on Tubi
The 1980 Western film 'Tom Horn', directed by William Wiard and starring Steve McQueen, is now available to stream on Tubi. It's a quiet, violent biopic about a potentially amoral Old West legend, and it's worth watching for Steve McQueen completists.
McQueen, who was already ill when he shot the film, played the title character, a real-life Old West gunslinger who may or may not have murdered a teenager in his heyday. The movie follows Tom Horn in the early years of the 20th century after his careers as a cowboy, a soldier, and a detective all came to an end.
The film sought to exonerate the real-life Tom Horn, who was known to murder many people in his time as a freelance detective. The movie added a line to one of McQueen's quotes, which was misinterpreted as a confession, leading to his imprisonment and eventual hanging.
Despite its flaws, the film is interesting for its exploration of the Western genre and the potential moral ambiguity of its protagonist. It's available to stream on Tubi and Hoopla, and it's worth watching for fans of Steve McQueen and the Western genre.
In my opinion, the film's quiet, violent nature and its exploration of the moral ambiguity of its protagonist make it a fascinating watch. It's a reminder of the complexities of the Old West and the potential for violence and moral ambiguity in even the most seemingly straightforward characters.
What makes this particularly fascinating is the film's attempt to exonerate the real-life Tom Horn, despite his known history of murder. It raises a deeper question about the nature of truth and the potential for misinterpretation in historical narratives.
