United States Marshal Howard Nightingale is a law and order and publicity man. He doesn’t simply capture outlaws. He makes sure a photographer is around to record the arrests and spread his fame. Now Nightingale, who aspires to the Senate, is out to nab his #1 prey: cool-witted robber Jack Strawhorn. “If I don’t get him, I don’t get elected,” he says. The mighty Kirk Douglas (who also produced and directed) stars as Nightingale and the wicked Bruce Dern is Strawhorn in Posse, an exciting roundup of action, humor and sly political skepticism. Bo Hopkins, James Stacy, Luke Askew and Alfonso Arau also star in this crafty western that asks: Just who is the real bad guy?

Texas Marshal Howard Nightingale (Kirk Douglas) aspires to become a U.S. senator and believes that to do so, he must capture the gunslinger Jack Strawhorn (Bruce Dern). Recognizing a dangerous foe, Nightingale gathers a posse of ruthless law enforcers to track him down. His triumph seems imminent after the posse apprehends the outlaw's gang, though Strawhorn himself escapes. Nightingale's confidence is shaken, however, when arresting the elusive bandit proves politically complicated.
