An American Hero Gets Back in the Saddle! For thirty years, Marshall Matt Dillon (James Arness, How the West Was Won) fought to preserve the law in Dodge City... now, he's wanted for murder and fighting to clear his name. America's epic lawman hits the trail once more in this action-packed western filmed on location in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This is the fourth of five film sequels to the classic series, the most popular western show in television history and the longest-running primetime dramatic TV series of all time. Three deputies ride up with a warrant for Dillon's arrest, a wealthy mine operator has been gunned down in cold blood and an eyewitness says Dillon was the murderer. He willingly goes with the deputies to clear up the obvious case of mistaken identity, but once in New Mexico, Dillon learns he's wanted dead or alive, with a $5,000 reward on his head courtesy of the dead miner's son. Matt has to run from a lynch mob and his only hope is to find the real killer or killers. The stellar cast includes James Brolin (The Amityville Horror, The Car) and Ali McGraw (The Getaway, Love Story). Directed by veteran Jerry Jameson (Airport '77, Gunsmoke: One Man's Justice). Review: A very different older Matt Dillon - Not the Matt Dillon of 1955 - 1975. There is no Dodge City in these movies with the exception of the first "Return to Dodge". No Festus, no Chester, no Mrs. Kitty, No Doc Adams. After James Arness left Gunsmoke in 1975 he went on to later do a series called "How The West Was Won" then an aging Arness (64 years old when he did the first movie) returned to the iconic role that made him famous. In this the fourth movie of five, Arness was around 70 years old. He was clearly too old for the part, but pulled it off nicely anyway. The movies take Matt in a different direction of of Dodge and onto a ranch, they give him a daughter he never knew he had. By this movie they are well acquainted. Arness is accused a of a murder he did not commit, and must prove his innocence. The movie is standard fare for Gunsmoke fans for the most part. Gritty and somewhat realistic as was the series in later years. James Brolin costars along with Ali McGraw. Arness was a great actor from a time that has come and gone. He had luck of being the star of a series that lasted for 20 years on television in this same iconic role. But,he is not the same Matt Dillon that we knew and loved from those days. He's older, wiser, and learned from experience over the years. He's, as he says "Sick of the killing!" I can understand why they held back these last two movies, I gave it 5 stars because it is Matt Dillon, but, Arness is just too old for the part here, and for years we only had the first three movies of the five available. I am glad however, to own these last two on DVD finally. But, I would have waited for them to come down so that I could pay less if I had known that Arness was just that far past due. If you are a Gunsmoke fan like me, you will want to buy these dvds. If not, wait, I am certain they will come down in price at some point. Or come out as a muti-pack. Review: Outstanding actor - I think I have already reviewed this but I have to check to see if I have it first. Yes I have seen it and anyone who likes James Arness will like this movie. No one can question his acting ability which he proved with Gunsmoke the longest running show on TV ..20 years. All his other works are the same and he never deviates from being very good. Thankful we have his works to enjoy with his passing too soon. I recently read a book about him purchased from desertcart and it was so nice knowing of his life as a lad in Montana, serving his country ifonly briefly and his great acting career. Do not even hesitate to obtain THE LONG RIDE as it is worth it.

I LOVE GUNSMOKE!!
I decided a few years ago I was going to take it upon myself to watch every episode and movie. Im 57 so this was a tad before my time (the show) but Ive gotten into them and watch at least an episode a day. Finally broke down and bought season 8 also. The movie is great! Anything James Arness is great!!

Very good service.
This was a movie that we had not seen before, and we needed it to complete the series. Thank you for having it at a reasonable price and sending as fast as you did. It is a good movie and we enjoyed it very much. Thank you again, and keep up the good work.

The horns of a dilemma: law and justice in a clash
The fourth of the five Gunsmoke movies deals with the perennially nasty possibility that law and justice can come into conflict. A false witness puts ex-Marshal Matt Dillon into the type of danger he had been notably skilled at disarming in his twenty years as US Marshal of Dodge City. What should you do when law and justice apparently cannot both be served? This movie shows the stark contrast between corruptible New Mexico territorial lawmen, and the incorruptible Kansas peace officer, retired. An especially good movie for a new generation of Gunsmoke fans.

Good but not as good as I hoped
Can't blame them for wanting to bring Matt Dillon back! And James Arness does a good job though obviously can't move like he used to. I thought there's be more "old guys are still tough" and the script could have been done better. But hey, it's a TV movie - not 35mm big screen. Not as good as Big Jake for a reference of old guys in film. Not in my top 25 westerns, but I've 200 on DVD and it'll fit in my collection.
