The Kid is a 2019 American Western film directed by Vincent D'Onofrio, from a screenplay by Andrew Lanham.

The film stars Ethan Hawke, Dane DeHaan, Jake Schur, Leila George, Chris Pratt, Adam Baldwin, and Vincent D'Onofrio.

Young Rio Cutler kills his alcoholic and abusive father one night in an unsuccessful attempt to save his mother from being beaten to death.

Garrett begins to question Rio and Sara; they tell him that their mother died and while travelling to Santa Fe, they were separated from their father.

Garrett produces a gun and threatens to shoot gang member Dave Rudabaugh, who Billy is still shackled to at the ankle.

When they reach Santa Fe, Sheriff Romero insists on taking Billy into custody along with Dave.

Rio and Sara slip away during the trouble and find their mother's friend in a dance hall, but Grant and his gang ambush them.

Rio steals a horse, gets a gun, rides to Lincoln and goes to the jail to visit Billy, but deputy Bob Olinger (Adam Baldwin) turns him away.

The website's critics consensus reads, "Well-framed, well-cast, and well-intentioned, The Kid still largely fails to set itself apart from the multitude of other westerns covering similar territory.

[16] Joe Leydon of Variety called it "a consistently involving and often exciting drama in which the two Wild West icons are presented from the p.o.v.

"[17] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "The result is very pleasing, even for moviegoers who don't pine for the Western's return, and represents a big step forward in the directing career of D'Onofrio.
