The Timber is a 2015 American Western thriller film[2] directed by Anthony O'Brien and produced by Scott Einbinder and Patrick Newall.

It stars James Ransone, Elisa Lasowski, Mark Caven, William Gaunt, David Bailie, and Josh Peck.

The screenplay concerns two brothers who set out to capture or kill their estranged father, who has become violent after his fortunes crashed in the Yukon Gold Rush.

Before they can leave, banker Mr. Howell alters the agreement he made with the brothers and insists they take Colonel Rupert Thomas and his cargo with them.

The mine supervisor turns out to have gone mad, and Thomas assaults him when he finds the expected ore to instead be worthless.

Meanwhile, Samuel's wife, with the help of Sheriff Snow, kills several goons led by Howell, who claims to now own her land due to foreclosure.

After killing Howell himself, Snow's deputy discovers oil on Samuel's land while digging a grave.
