Dawn Rider is a 2012 Canadian-American Western film starring Christian Slater, Jill Hennessy and Donald Sutherland.

It is a remake of the 1935 John Wayne film The Dawn Rider.

Mason's friend Rudd needs $5000 to save his ranch and he doesn't care how he gets it, even putting the ranch before his sister Alice.

One way to attract the gang, and to possibly save Rudd's ranch, is the payroll for railway workers which is being delivered to Promise and must be taken from there to the railroad.

The costume design in the film earned Zohra Shahalimi the Leo Award for Best Costume Design for Feature Length Drama.
