Former slave Bass Reeves (David Gyasi) becomes the first black deputy United States Marshal west of the Mississippi River in the late 1800s. To prove himself, he must hunt down a deadly outlaw with the help of a grizzled journeyman. As he chases the criminal deeper into the Cherokee Nation, Reeves must not only dodge bullets but severe discrimination in hopes of earning his star–and cement his place as a cowboy legend. Written and directed by Randal Lee Smith and featuring Ron Perlman, Frank Grillo, and Randy Wayne.
