At the end of the Civil War, Wade McCurry (Barlow Jacobs) and his sister Martha (Clare Bowen) reunite on the family’s plot on the wild frontier of New Mexico to try to restart their lives. But when a mining company comes calling for their land, the siblings must figure out whether to stick together and make a go of it or give up what little they have. DEAD MAN’S BURDEN is a tremendously effective entry into the recent revival of the western, utilizing the classic storytelling of the genre in the service of a twisting, turning story.
