The Untamed Story of the American West
The birth of the American West was defined by fierce battles over land, power, and survival—a saga of ambition, courage, and sometimes ruthless determination. Hollywood legend Kevin Costner brings this epic era to life through diverse perspectives, from legendary explorers to infamous outlaws.
The series delves into the journeys of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, who charted the Louisiana Purchase from 1804 to 1806 with the help of the young Lemhi Shoshone woman Sacagawea. It also explores the clashes between lawmen and gunslingers, the rise of cowboys and ranchers, and the heroic resistance of Native American tribes defending their ancestral lands.
Beyond the battles, the series highlights the resilience of pioneering women, the dreams of fortune seekers, and the passion of abolitionists who shaped the West.
Best known for his starring role in Yellowstone, Costner returns to his roots with this sweeping historical narrative.
