Also known as “Anytown, USA,” Warner Bros’ Midwest Street is the biggest backlot and has served as a shooting location since 1939 for some of Hollywood’s most iconic motion pictures.
When “Bubber” Reeves (Robert Redford) escapes from prison, it upsets the folks in the nearby town of Tarl, Texas. Sheriff Calder (Marlon Brando) wants to capture Reeves alive, which puts him in opposition to many of the townspeople who have resorted to mob justice. Businessman Val Rogers (E.G. Marshall) wants Calder to apprehend Reeves quickly, through any means, since he fears the criminal will come after Val’s son, Jake, who is sleeping with Reeves’ wife (Jane Fonda).
