Forsaken is a 2015 revisionist western film directed by Jon Cassar, from a screenplay by Brad Mirman.

He goes to town with his father who warns him to avoid some suspicious men; their leader, saloon owner James McCurdy worries that John Henry will be a "problem".

After a tense encounter in town with Frank Tillman, John Henry and his father argue about his exploits and lack of faith in God following the atrocities of the Civil War.

Dave Turner warns John Henry not to get involved in the land scheme and they discover that they were both at the Battle of Shiloh, albeit on opposite sides.

He is haunted by the memory of that boy and his brother William, who accidentally died when he fell in a freezing river.

John Henry retrieves his gun, borrows another from the town's merchant, and enters the saloon, killing Ned first.

Having now re-established his reputation as a gunslinger, John Henry informs a tearful Samuel that he must leave to avoid bringing bounty hunters and challengers to the town.
