Malé mestečko Bright Hope stojí uprostred Divokého západu izolované od akéhokoľvek kontaktu s okolitým svetom. Ideálne miesto, ktoré môže napriek zásadovému šerifovi poskytovať zázemie banditom okrádajúcim bezbranných cudzincov. Lúpežné prepadnutia však vedľa toho, s čím sa musia obyvatelia vysporiadať teraz, predstavujú iba marginálny problém. V neďalekom údolí žije totiž indiánsky kmeň troglodytov, ktorí čírou náhodou holdujú kanibalskej kuchyni a ktorého členovia potrebujú opäť doplniť telu potrebné proteíny. A tak keď unesú miestnu krásnu gazdinku Samanthu, dáva sa dokopy nepríliš spriaznená skupinka miestnych mužov, ktorí sa rozhodli ju akýmkoľvek spôsobom vyslobodiť ešte skôr, než si divosi začnú zostavovať jedálny lístok na nadchádzajúcu hostinu. Začína dobrodružná misia, ktorá nenapĺňa obvyklé westernové konvencie a ktorá s chuťou využíva násilie aj humor.
Charley Waite (Kevin Costner), Boss Spearman (Robert Duvall), 'Button' (Diego Luna) a Mose Harrison (Abraham Benrubi) sú muži s nie celkom čistým svedomím. Žijúc na divokom vidieku, kde jediné zákony určuje príroda, a riadic sa spoločným, slobodným "Zákonom Západu"; snažia sa uniknúť svojej minulosti a nájsť mier v duši. Násilie je to posledné, s čím by chceli mať dočinenia. Ale jedno z okolitých miest, vedené tyraniou a strachom, ich donúti "Zákon Západu" odložiť a naši hrdinovia sa dostávajú do konfrontácie so zlom, i vlastnými vnútornými démonmi. Nehovoriac o tom, že samotár Charley v rovnakej chvíli stretáva okúzlujúcu Sue Barlowovú (Annette Beningová), ženu, ktorá zlomí jeho srdce
