Double bill featuring two Western movies. 'Silverado' (1985) stars Kevin Kline and Danny Glover and is set in the 1880s. The film follows the story of a group of pioneers who try to establish a future in the American West, culminating in a shoot out in the crooked town of Silverado. 'Ned Kelly' (2003) is a biopic of the notorious Australian outllaw and folk hero, played by the late Heath Ledger. From a family of Irish immigrants in the Victoria area of Australia, Kelly has long been the target of a prejudiced police force. Sentenced to three years in prison for theft, Kelly finds a job tending horses on a ranch when he is released. But when Kelly falls foul of crooked policeman Fitzpatrick (Kiri Paramore), he finds himself on the run after being accused of a crime he didn't commit. Together with his brothers, Kelly forms a bank-robbing gang and is pursued by bounty hunter Francis Hare (Geoffrey Rush), leading to a final stand where Kelly armours himself with steel plate, determined to go down in a blaze of glory.
