Description:Rancher Braxton hangs a rustler without trial. Because of this, the rustler's gang, led by Tom Logan (Jack Nicholson) decide to move into Braxton's neighborhood. Braxton hires gunman Lee Clayton (Marlon Brando) to kill Logan and the rest of the band, which he does in cruel, torturous ways or by shooting them from a distance. Logan, who has taken up with Braxton's daughter Jane (Kathleeen Lloyd), finds Clayton sleeping and cuts his throat. He then goes after Braxton and kills him in a shootout. He decides to head for other part, but not before letting Jane know where he's going.

Reviews for The Missouri Breaks

Review - Missouri Breaks, The

Brando plays a repulsive, cross-dressing freak—in other words, he just played himself. I can't stand that guy. There really wasn't a good guy in this movie, but the thought of maybe seeing Brando's character killed kept me watching.
