Heaven's Gate is director Michael Cimino's bleak 1980 "anti-western" based on events in 1890s Wyoming. Sheriff James Averill (Kris Kristofferson), educated in the East and full of idealism, attempts to protect Eastern European immigrants - farmers against the land barons and owners of pastures who hire mercenaries to settle their scores. The hired gunmen, including Nathan Champion (Christopher Walken), plan to kill a number of farmers whose names appear on a death list and whom the farmers believe have been stealing their cattle. Backed by the federal government, the mercenaries prepare to attack the farmers when Averill and Champion clash over the impending massacre and Ella Watson (Isabelle Huppert), a local prostitute and woman they both love. The film, while shot very realistically with attention to every detail, became notorious for its enormous budget and its negative buzz and subsequently became one of the biggest box office flops of all time.
