A publicity-hungry U.S Marshal (Kirk Douglas) doesn't just hunt down and capture fugitives, he makes sure a photographer is around to record his crime-fighting exploits and bolster his political aspirations. In Posse the lawman soon discovers that fame may be fleeting when he sets his sights on his No 1 target: coll-witted robber Jack Strawhor (Bruce Dern). Bo Hopkins, James Stacy and Alfonso Aran co-star in this crafty Western that asks the question: Just who is the real bad guy?
