Purchase options and add-ons
Writer/Director Walter Hill, well-known for his westerns (The Long Riders, Geronimo, Wild Bill, Deadwood, Broken Trail), tells the story of a shootout that occurred in Newton, Kansas in 1871 and its legendary aftermath of violence and controversy.
“The Cowboy Iliad reaches back to the spoken tradition of storytelling — designed to have no simple resolution, but a mix of history, nostalgia and speculation. And, of course, we wanted to honor the tradition of the Western…
In other words, Bobby Woods and I had a couple of shooters and made a record.” - Walter Hill
As heard on The Cowboy Iliad Spoken Word Album.
Hill makes his recording debut at the age of 77, and, for the first time, his writing is presented using his own voice.

Hill also served as a co-writer and co-producer on the first three Alien films.
Recently, Hill has written three graphic novels published in Paris by Rue de Sèvres; Balles Perdues, Corps et Âme, and Le Specimen.
