The latest visitors to the town are Dalglish (WES BENTLEY) and his survey team from the Central Pacific Railway, which includes his partner, Bellanger (JULIAN RICHINGS) who's sweet on one of the hookers, Annie (SHIRLEY HENDERSON). The team is looking for a route through the area to run their tracks and Dillon is keen on making sure his town is along one of its stops.
Then there's Elena (NASTASSJA KINSKI) and Hope Burn (SARAH POLLEY), a mother and daughter who've traveled to Kingdom Come to meet Dillon. It seems that Elena is terminally ill and hopes that Dillon, a man from her past, might be able to care for Hope financially.
As Dillon's past and future collide in the snowy winter, the arrival of the three visitors and revelations related to them then set into motion a series of events that will forever change Kingdom Come and the man who runs it
Profanity consists of at least 2 uses of the "f" word, while a handful of other expletives and colorful phrases are used. Violence is listed as extreme due to several people being shot to death, another dying in an explosion (that also burns a horse), the burning down of a town (with imitative arson), a man allowing himself to freeze to death, and several instances of non-lethal fighting. Some of these scenes are a bit bloody and, along with those involving a terminally ill woman progressively getting sicker, may be unsettling for some viewers.
Finally, various characters drink and/or smoke, some display varying degrees of bad attitudes, and some tense family scenes are present. Should you still be concerned about the film and it appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home, you may want to take a closer look at our detailed content listings for more specific examples of what occurs and is present in it.
