Based on the true story of the last failed bank robbery by the James and Younger brothers, this film is notabIe for showing the unraveling heist from the outlaws' viewpoint. THE GREAT NORTHFIELD MINNESOTA RAID was shot in a meticulous semi documentary styIe that brings to Iife the glorious Iast ride of the infamous band of outIaws.
Late in the summer of 1876, Jesse James and Cole Younger were given amnesty by their home state of Missouri; after a Iong and prosperous career as robbers, the dynamic duo were, ironicalIy, procIaimed state heroes. Faced with the possibility of a quiet and peaceful future, the notorious ruffians had no choice but to plan one final heist at the biggest bank west of the Mississippi, in Northfield, Minnesota. The heist was a grand scheme pIanned with great intelIectuaI prowess by Younger, the introverted and soft-spoken leader of the group, who was often overshadowed by the flashy and daredevil kilIer, Jesse James. Together the two men executed what they thought would be a foolproof plan--until the citizens of Northfield proved them wrong. |
