The Harder They Fall Trailer Delivers An Amazing Cast And Stylish Western Action

The first trailer for The Harder They Fall has been released. The Netflix western stars Jonathan Majors (Lovecraft Country) and Idris Elba (Luther, The Wire).

The trailer doesn't reveal too much in the way of plot, but it certainly delivers the action and style. It opens with outlaws Trudy Smith and Cherokee Bill, played by Regina King (Watchmen) and Lakeith Stanfeld (Judas and the Black Messiah), rescuing gang leader Rufus Buck, a real-life outlaw played by Elba. Majors plays another real-life figure, legendary Black cowboy Nat Love, and it looks like a hugely entertaining slice of western action, with an amazing cast. Check the trailer out below:

Netflix has released a synopsis for the movie, which reads, "When outlaw Nat Love discovers that his enemy Rufus Buck (Idris Elba) is being released from prison he rounds up his gang to track Rufus down and seek revenge. Those riding with him in this assured, righteously new school Western include his former love Stagecoach Mary, his right and left hand men--hot-tempered Bill Pickett and fast drawing Jim Beckwourth--and a surprising adversary-turned-ally. Rufus Buck has his own fearsome crew, including "Treacherous" Trudy Smith and Cherokee Bill, and they are not a group that knows how to lose."

The Harder They Fall also stars Zazie Beetz (Joker, Atlanta) as Mary, R.J. Cyler (Power Rangers) as Beckwourth, and Edi Gathegi (StartUp) as Pickett, plus Delroy Lindo (Da 5 BLoods) and Danielle Deadwyler (Watchmen). It's the directorial debut of Jeymes Samuel, the British musician also known as The Bullitts (and brother of soul superstar Seal). Samuel wrote the screenplay with Boaz Yakin (Fresh, Remember the Titans). The movie doesn't have a release date yet, but it's set to hit Netflix in the Fall.
