Silverado is a 1985 American Western film, first released on July 10, 1985. It was directed by Lawrence Kasdan and written by Lawrence and Mark Kasdan. The movie features an ensemble cast, including Kevin Kline as Paden, Scott Glenn as Emmett, Danny Glover as Malachi "Mal" Johnson, Kevin Costner as Jake, John Cleese as Sheriff John T. Langston and Brian Dennehy as Sheriff Cobb.
This spirited Western stars Academy Award-winner Kevin Kline and Danny Glover as four unwitting heroes who cross paths on their journey to the sleepy town of Silverado. Little do they know the town where their family and friends live has been taken over by a corrupt sheriff and murderous posse. It's up to the sharp-shooting foursome to save the day, but first they have to break each other out of jail, and learn who their real friends are.
Thanks to its authentic look and spectacular cast, which also includes Rosanna Arquette, John Cleese, Brian Dennehy, Jeff Goldblum, and Oscar-winner Linda Hunt (1983, Best Supporting Actress, The Year of Living Dangerously), this exciting Old West adventure created a whole new generation of Western fans and earned its "modern classic" status.
