About
No one comes up here without a damn good reason.
The re-edited, extended, serialized cut of Quentin Tarantino's 2015 Western. Some years after the Civil War, bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell) escorts fugitive Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) to face justice in the town of Red Rock. As a blizzard closes in, they seek refuge at Minnie's Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass, but on arrival they are greeted not by the proprietor but by unfamiliar faces. And as the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, the travelers realize they may not make it to Red Rock after all…
