8 Best Snowy Westerns Ever
3. North Star
Starring James Caan (Misery) and Christopher Lambert (Highlander) and based on the 1956 novel of the same name, this revenge western is set during the Alaskan gold rush of the late 1800s.
Hoping to gain control of a small mining town, a ruthless criminal buys up every mining claim that becomes available by arranging the deaths of previous owners. He meets his match when one miner, a highly skilled hunter, escapes the criminal’s hired thugs and returns seeking revenge.
Despite being set in the state of Alaska, the movie was shot entirely in Norway in Maridalen, Møsvatn and Orre bach and is a UK, French, Italian and Norwegian co-production.
