The second chapter of Kevin Costner’s self-directed, produced, and acted Western is set to release in 2025. However, for those looking for the excitement and action that a Western often brings, audiences may want to look elsewhere. Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1 underperformed in its theatrical release, with audiences and critics alike taking issue with the narrative, pacing, and length of the first chapter of the tetralogy. While additional chapters of Costner’s project promise to unify these storylines, viewers looking for a similar Western epic that actually follows through on its promises (and in one sitting) should look to the past, specifically to 1962.
