Plot

The cowboy Emmett is ambushed by three armed men while he sleeps in an isolated shack, but he kills them and takes possession of one horse. He plans to meet his brother Jake in Turley, travel together to see their sister, Kate, in Silverado then continue to California.

On the way to Turley, Emmett finds Paden, clad only in his union suit, lying in the desert after being robbed and left to die. He lends Paden his extra horse, who accompanies him to Turley.

At a cavalry outpost, Paden notices the man who stole his horse and saddle and hurriedly buys a gun with money borrowed from Emmett; the thief shoots first, but Paden kills him. He runs into Cobb, a former criminal associate, who lends him money to buy new clothes and wants to hire him. However, Paden declines.

While eating at a saloon in Turley, Emmett and Paden witness a black cowboy, Mal, being harassed by several men and the racist saloon owner. He defends himself until Sheriff Langston shows up and orders him to leave town.

Paden and Emmett learn from Langston that Jake is to be hanged for murder the next day. Emmett intends to break his brother out of jail, but Paden says that he can't get involved. Getting a drink at the saloon, Paden sees the other man who robbed him and kills him in a duel to get back his hat and gun. Langston arrests him and puts him in Jake's cell.

The next morning, Emmett sets fire to the gallows as a diversion while Jake and Paden break out of jail. The three escape town, pursued by Langston's posse. Mal shoots at the posse from a distance, revealing himself to be a crack shot, and the lawmen abandon their pursuit. Mal is also headed to Silverado to visit his elderly parents.

The four men encounter a wagon train, headed to open land near Silverado, whose money box has been stolen. They successfully recover the money from the outlaws, then escort the settlers. Paden takes an interest in Hannah, one of the settlers, and he escorts the group to their new land. Near Silverado, Mal departs to find his parents' farm.

Emmett and Jake reunite with Kate, her husband J.T., and son Augie. It is revealed that Emmett spent five years in prison for killing a rancher after their families feuded over land rights. Mal finds his father, Ezra, living destitute in the hills and his ranch burned down; McKendrick –the son of the rancher Emmett had killed –seized the land and Mal's mother died. Reaching Silverado, Paden visits the saloon and meets the manager, Stella. Cobb, the owner as well as Silverado's sheriff, hires Paden as a new pit boss.

Emmett discovers that McKendrick hired the gunmen who tried to murder him earlier. Mal learns his sister, Rae, has become the mistress of notorious gambler "Slick" Stanhope. Slick betrays Mal, who is beaten by Cobb's deputies and put in jail. McKendrick's men murder Ezra, assault Emmett, burn J.T.'s land office, and kidnap Jake and Augie. Stella, who knows Cobb is in McKendrick's pocket, reveals to Paden that she despises what the two men have done to Silverado and urges him to make things right.

Rae breaks her brother out but is wounded. The three men attack McKendrick's ranch, kill most of his men, and rescue Jake and Augie while McKendrick flees. The group splits up: Jake outsmarts and kills Cobb's right-hand man, Tyree; Mal rescues Rae from Slick and stabs him to death with his own knife; Emmett deals with the remaining corrupt deputies and kills McKendrick; Paden faces off with Cobb in a duel and kills him.

After saying their goodbyes to friends and loved ones, Emmett and Jake finally head for California. Mal and his sister reconcile, deciding to rebuild their family's homestead. Paden becomes the new sheriff of Silverado.

Cast

Production

The film was shot primarily on location at the Cook Ranch in New Mexico. [3] In 1984, Lawrence and Mark Kasdan and crew were out scouting a remote area of New Mexico by helicopter, hoping to find the most suitable place to build the town of Silverado. [4] The location manager appeared at the property of locals Bill and Marian Cook. At that time they wanted to build only two to three structures, offering Cook a "casual number" as a location fee. "There wasn't any great motivation for me one way or another, but I said okay. It just grew from that into a big budget movie and the Silverado set was built," Cook recalled.

In an interview with Trailer Addict, actor Scott Glenn related how casting profoundly influences directing. [5] In reference to different actors working together, he mentioned how he "really liked" Kevin Costner, and how he thought Kevin was "easy and comfortable" to be around. He said, "there is real magic going on with that performance." Glenn spent his time kidding around with Costner addressing him by saying, "hey movie star!" during that earlier stage in his career. [5]

Reception

Critical response

"Silverado is the work of Lawrence Kasdan, the man who wrote Raiders of the Lost Ark, and it has some of the same reckless brilliance about it."
—Roger Ebert, writing in the Chicago Sun-Times [6]

Among mainstream critics in the U.S., the film received mostly positive reviews. [7] Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 78% based on reviews from 36 critics, with an average score of 6.8/10. The consensus reads, "Boasting rich detail and a well-told story, Silverado is a rare example of an '80s Hollywood Western done right." [8] On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 64% based on 14 reviews. [7]

Critic Janet Maslin, writing in The New York Times , said of director Kasdan, "he creates the film's most satisfying moments by communicating his own sheer enjoyment in revitalizing scenes and images that are so well-loved." [9] Impressed, she exclaimed, "Silverado is a sweeping, glorious-looking western that's at least a full generation removed from the classic films it brings to mind." [9] Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times called it "sophisticated" while remarking, "This is a story, you will agree, that has been told before. What distinguishes Kasdan's telling of it is the style and energy he brings to the project." [6] In the San Francisco Chronicle , Peter Stack wrote that the film "delivers elaborate gun-fighting scenes, legions of galloping horses, stampeding cattle, a box canyon, covered wagons, tons of creaking leather and even a High Noonish duel." He mused, "How it manages to run the gamut of cowboy movie elements without getting smart-alecky is intriguing." [10] In a mixed review, Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune , said the film was "a completely successful physical attempt at reviving the western, but its script would need a complete rewrite for it to become more than just a small step in a full-scale western revival." [11] Jay Carr of The Boston Globe noted that Silverado "plays like a big-budget regurgitation of old Westerns. What keeps it going is the generosity that flows between Kasdan and his actors. It's got benevolent energies, but not the more primal kind needed to renew the standard Western images and archetypes." [12] Giving Silverado 4 out of 5 stars, author Ian Freer of Empire , thought the film was the "kind of picture that makes you want to play cowboys the moment it is over." He exclaimed, "Whereas many of the westerns from the ‘70s try a revisionist take on the genre, Silverado offers a wholehearted embracing of western traditions." [13]

The staff at Variety reserved praise for the film stating that the real rewards of the picture lie in its "visuals" saying, "rarely has the West appeared so alive, yet unlike what one carries in his mind's eye. Ida Random's production design is thoroughly convincing in detail." [14] Julie Salamon writing for The Wall Street Journal , voiced positive sentiment joyfully exclaiming that Silverado "looks great and moves fast. Mr. Kasdan has packed his action well against the fearsomely long, dusty stretches of Western plain." [15] Describing some pitfalls, David Sterritt of The Christian Science Monitor said, "When pure storytelling takes over after an hour or so, the picture becomes less original and engaging." [16] Sterritt was quick to admit, "The cinematography by John Bailey is stunning," but he frustratingly noted that "Like the last movie Lawrence Kasdan gave us, The Big Chill, it's best when the carefully chosen cast throws itself into developing characters and building their relationships." [16] Total Film viewed Silverado as a creation of the "Kasdan brothers' ebullient love letter to the horse operas of their youth", while throwing in "every Western cliché imaginable. It's not as rousing as it thinks, despite the efforts of Bruce Broughton's strident score, but looks terrific - all big skies and wide-open spaces." [17]

In an entirely negative critique, film critic Jay Scott of The Globe and Mail said the all too familiar "manipulative Star Wars-style score is the only novelty on tap in Silverado, which has a plot too drearily complicated and arid to summarize". [18] Dave Kehr of the Chicago Reader . Commenting on director Kasdan's style, he said his "considerable skills as a plot carpenter seem to desert him as soon as the story moves to the town of the title." As far as the supporting cast was concerned, he dryly noted, "none of them assumes enough authority to carry the moral and dramatic center of the film." [19] Sheila Benson, writing for the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review: "For all its mosaic of nice details, Silverado is still a faintly hollow creation-constructed, not torn from the heart." [20] Richard Corliss of Time didn't find the picture to be compelling, stating how the film "sprays the buckshot of its four or five story lines across the screen with the abandon of a drunken galoot aiming at a barn door. Though the film interrupts its chases and shootouts to let some fine actors stare meaningfully or spit out a little sagebrush wisdom, it rarely allows them to build the camaraderie that an old cowhand like Gabby Hayes exuded with no sweat." [21] He ultimately came to the conclusion that Silverado "proves it takes more than love of the western to make a good one. Maybe the dudes at K-Tell were a mite too slick for the job." [21] The staff at TV Guide described how "Lawrence Kasdan bloats the plot with dozens of side stories that, in painfully predictable detail, show how each of our heroes has a reason for being in Silverado and why they decide to stick their necks out. Though much of the running time is devoted to these expository passages, its all very basic and shallow." [22]

Box office

The film premiered in cinemas on July 9, 1985, in wide release throughout the United States. During its opening weekend, Silverado opened in 7th place, grossing $3,522,897 at 1,168 locations. [2] The film Back to the Future came in first place during that weekend grossing $10,555,133. [23] The film's revenue increased by 3% in its second week of release, earning $3,631,204. For that particular weekend, it moved up to 5th place screening in 1,190 theaters. Back to the Future remained in first place grossing $10,315,305 in box office revenue. [24] During its final release week in theaters, Silverado opened in a distant 11th place with $741,840 in revenue. [25] It went on to top out domestically at $32,192,570 in total ticket sales through an 11-week theatrical run. [2] For 1985 as a whole, Silverado would cumulatively rank at a box office performance position of 28. [26]
