In a desolate Texas border town during the Prohibition era, the mysterious drifter John Smith arrives in Jericho, where two rival crime families are locked in a ruthless struggle for power. Smith decides to play both sides against each other, turning what begins as a cynical fight for survival into a story of revenge, loyalty, and the search for a personal moral code. With Last Man Standing, Walter Hill pays tribute to Sergio Leone's classic spaghetti westerns while boldly relocating Akira Kurosawa's legendary Yojimbo to Prohibition-era America. Starring Bruce Willis in one of his most iconic roles, the film is a stylish action homage to generations of cinema, bringing together the legacy of the samurai film, the Italian western, and the Hollywood action movie in a singular genre reinterpretation.
