BradPitt plays JesseJames, who is at the tail end of his career and joins up with his brother Frank (Sam Shepard) for one last train robbery, then spends the rest of the story skulking under an alias or settling scores.
It will be interesting to see if the drawing power of Russell Crowe and BradPitt (in the forthcoming "Assassination of JesseJames by the Coward Robert Ford") can buck that trend.
