Briscoe Western Art Museum Summer Film Series “The Long Riders”

Escape the August heat with an afternoon at the movies with the 1980’s “The Long Riders”. Grab your brother and watch real-life brothers portray the Jesse James gang in a sympathetic portrayal of the brothers who begin their legendary bank raids because of revenge. Brothers James and Stacy Keach star as Jesse and Frank James; David, Keith and Robert Carradine play Cole, Jim, and Bob Younger; Dennis and Randy Quaid play Ed and Clell Miller, and Christopher and Nicholas Guest play Charlie and Bob Ford.

The Briscoe’s popular Summer Film Series features an iconic Western film with Briscoe guest curator Dr. Andrew Patrick Nelson introducing the movie and explaining how it relates to Still in the Saddle:  A New History of the Hollywood Western, the Briscoe’s fantastic summer exhibition. Nelson is a historian of American cinema and culture, film programmer, museum curator and media commentator, as well as the Chair of the Department of Film and Media Arts and Associate Professor of Film Studies at the University of Utah, and the author and editor of numerous books and essays on Western cinema.

The film is free with museum general admission and as always, museum members enjoy the museum and movie for free. Popcorn, candy, and food truck grub are available to enjoy in the museum’s draft house-style theater and enjoy free beer courtesy of Ranger Creek Brewing.
