This is a remake of the 1969 film and the second film made based off the novel of the same name, written in 1968. This movie has an all star line up in it, including Jeff "The Dude" Bridges (from The Big Lewbowski), Josh Brolin (No Country For Old Men) and Matt Damon. The Coen Brothers are responsible for this remake and they team up with Bridges for the first time since The Big Lewbowski and work with Brolin again (they made No Country For Old Men ... an amazing movie that you should check out if you have never seen it before!)
The film is about a girl named Mattie Ross (played by Elizabth Marvel) who is on the hunt for Tom Chaney (Brolin) who is the man who killed her father and stole his gold and horses. Mattie meets and constantly tries to hire a US Marshall by the name of Rooster Cogburn (Bridges) to track down Chaney. After many attempts and declines, Cogburn eventually gives in. At the same time, Texas Ranger La Boeuf (Damon) is on the hunt for Chaney as well, for a murder he commited in Texas. La Boeuf wants to team up with Cogburn and Ross, but Ross refuses to, because she believes that Chaney would be prosecuted for the Texas murder, rather than her fathers death.
