Noble and Tom meet as arranged with Indians, who bring them fresh horses and supplies.

The project began development under producer Lance Hool in 1983 with a script written by Kevin Jarre.

[5][6][7] The project then went into development for a couple of years until October 1987 when production began shooting on location in Colorado and New Mexico under the title Dead or Alive.

[8][9][10] The Wall Street Journal called it a " handsome, no-nonsense, no-spaghetti western.

"[12] The Globe and Mail said "The Kristofferson character is straight out of the Eastwood mold but even dirtier than Harry.

But what makes him (and the movie) intriguing is his obvious tenderness for his grown son, wonderfully and endearingly played by Mark Moses.

"[14] Another in Filmink called it "a polite late ‘80s western... with some baddies kidnapping women and Kristofferson leading a posse, and his son learning the importance of killing people.
