The Quick and the Dead (1995)

Stone (Total Recall) was tricked as a child into killing her own father the sheriff of a small western town. She's grown up and returns to that town seeking vengeance. The only way she can get to the man that tricked her, Hackman (The French Connection), is to join a shoot out contest. DiCaprio (Inception) is the illegitimate son of Hackman and in order to get his father's respect he also joins the contest.  The underlying plot involves Crowe. This is Crowe's first noticeable film in the US. Crowe (Gladiator) use to ride with Hackman, but decided to become a preacher instead. Hackman forces him to join the contest in order to prove to himself he's the fastest gun in the west. All in all, I say: SEE IT even though it is cheesy.
