Broken Trail (Season 1)

Broken Trail (2006) is a Western miniseries you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Walter Hill. Robert Duvall plays Print Ricker, a seasoned trail hand who takes his nephew Tom on what should be a routine drive — five hundred horses from Oregon to Wyoming, sold to the British army.

It doesn't stay routine. Midway through, they come across five Chinese women being trafficked to a brothel. Leaving them behind isn't something Print can do. Taking them along makes enemies of a ruthless hired gang. Thomas Haden Church plays Tom, Greta Scacchi the madam who owns the girls' contracts, James Russo the man sent to get them back.

Hill builds his tension out of moral obligation rather than gunplay — the real conflict is what it costs a man to do the right thing when no one's watching. The series picked up five Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Miniseries. Stream Broken Trail online on iFILM.
