Synopsis:
The American West has always been a repository of dreams, a place where cowboys, lawmakers, rustlers and gunslingers chased hopes that seemed larger and grander than life itself. Their stories have been told and re-told from new perspectives. But there is another story about the West that has never been re-imagined until now: the legends of the Gold Rush and the bold, driven pioneers who took on the extreme landscapes of the Sierra Nevada.
Michael Winterbottom`s The Claim stakes out this adventurous territory, with a raw, romantic tale of stark beauty and primal authenticity about how dreams collided with greed in the making of California. His is an epic story of love, passion and redemption set against the harsh landscape of the Sierra Nevada.
The Claim brings to life the heady days when California was the last frontier, the final untamed wilderness - and makes intensely personal a time that transformed the entire nation.

Your Opinions and Comments
Pity about the 2.35 : 1 format. Quite impossible to accommodate on a tv set.
