About The Harder They Fall

The Harder They Fall characters are based on real cowboys, lawmen, and outlaws of the 19th-century American West. The film made its global debut on October 6, 2021, at the BFI London Film Festival. It had a limited premiere on October 22, 2021, before becoming available on Netflix on November 3.

When bandit Nat Love (Jonathan Majors) learns that his adversary Rufus Buck (Idris Elba) is about to be freed from prison, he gathers his crew to track Rufus down and exact revenge. 

Nat's crew consists of his previous love, stagecoach Mary (Zazie Beetz), his right and left-hand man—hot-tempered Bill Pickett (Edi Gathegi) and quick drawing Jim Beckwourth (R.J. Cyler)—and a startling adversary-turned-ally, all of which ride beside him in this confident, righteously new school Western. 

Rufus Buck has his own terrible team, which includes "Treacherous" Trudy Smith (Regina King) and Cherokee Bill (LaKeith Stanfield); they do not know how to lose. 

The Harder They Fall was directed by Jeymes Samuel, written by Samuel and Boaz Yakin, and produced by Shawn Carter, James Lassiter, Lawrence Bender and features a scorching soundtrack. 

Moreover, the all-star ensemble includes Jonathan Majors, Zazie Beetz, Delroy Lindo, LaKeith Stanfield, Danielle Deadwyler, Edi Gathegi, R.J. Cyler, Damon Wayans Jr., Deon Cole, Regina King, and Idris Elba. Vengeance has never been more fierce.

You can watch The Harder They Fall now, on Netflix.
