Break Trail

In the rugged Wyoming Territory of 1874, a small wagon train sets out for California under the protection of U.S. Marshal John Bishop, a stoic lawman known more for his instincts than his bedside manner. Among the travelers are two widowed mothers, their children, and a grizzled old sheriff and his firecracker of a wife. Together, they form a makeshift family, each carrying private griefs and fragile hopes for a better life out west. As the wagons roll across open plains and dangerous passes, Bishop’s job becomes more than just keeping order. It’s protecting them from a harsh land, growing tension within the group, and the shadows tracking them from behind. Among those shadows is Joe Garrett -- a brutal outlaw with a grudge against Bishop and no mercy for those in his way. With Garrett’s gang closing in and tensions flaring among the settlers, Bishop must rely on sharp instincts and rough wisdom to hold the fragile group together. The trail is unforgiving. Illness strikes, tempers boil, and ambushes force even the meekest to pick up a rifle. Bonds are tested, sacrifices made. When tragedy strikes one of their own, it’s clear this journey isn’t just about reaching a destination — it’s about finding the strength to keep going. Break Trail is a gritty, character-driven Western about found family, redemption, and the high cost of survival. With sharp dialogue, cinematic landscapes, and high-stakes action, it honors the spirit of the frontier while delivering a story as intimate as it is epic.
