Lawrence Kasdan's Silverado is a fond hark back to the all-star, big-budget westerns of the 1950s and 1960s. The various plotlines converge at the town of Silverado, held in thrall by crooked sheriff Brian Dennehy and his behemoth "deputies." The four disparate heroes--Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, Scott Glenn and Danny Glover--prepare to do battle against Dennehy for personal reasons ranging from mercenary to altruistic. Sidelines characters include duplicitous, dandified gambler Jeff Goldblum, frontier widow Rosanna Arquette and gimlet-eyed saloon owner Linda Hunt. The film is stolen hands-down by Kevin Costner, playing an irresponsible young gunslinger who never speaks when hootin' and hollerin' will do. A classic, High Noon-style showdown caps this rousing retro western. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Silverado, Lawrence Kasdan's love letter to the Western, gets a handsome DVD release with this gift set from Sony. The film is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.40:1, giving the film an entirely new look to anyone familiar with the film only from broadcast television. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1. Supplemental materials include a featurette consisting of interviews with the cast and crew, a second featurette in which Kevin Costner discusses his memories of working on the film (one of his first big roles), a booklet with pictures and writing about the film, and a deck of playing cards. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
