Western film

The Western film genre primarily depicts stories set in the American West, particularly during the late 19th to early 20th century. These films often feature classic elements such as cowboys, outlaws, and lawmen, along with themes of frontier justice, moral conflict, and the struggle between civilization and wilderness. Iconic visuals include wide open landscapes, saloons, and horseback chases. Westerns often reflect broader social issues, including individualism, community, and American identity. Notable examples include "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Unforgiven," which explore both action and deeper human experiences against the backdrop of the wild frontier.
