Clay Allison

Synopsis

BPI is developing this original treatment based on true events. Caught in a corrupt New Mexico land-grabbing war, standup gunfighter Clay Allison finds himself in a life-threatening power struggle with the Santa Fe Ring. The Ring is an assembly of brutal and absolutely corrupt politicians and financiers, who attempt to establish a dictatorship in the New Mexico Territory after the Civil War. Gentleman-rancher and gunfighter Clay Allison, a genuinely under-rated personality from the frontier era of the Old West, fearlessly goes to war against the Ring. He finds a colorful, albeit unlikely, ally in Frenchman and Cimarron hotel-owner Henry Lambert. The characters and most of the events in this film are real and set against the breathtakingly magical backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
