Lone Justice: Showdown at Plum Creek

On the edge of the plains a frontier sheriff finds his routine upended when a body vanishes from a local outpost and the town hums with danger. The case threads together a Briton named Oscar Wilde and a shadowy plot that reaches through dusty streets and into the sheriff’s circle. As threats rise, the lawman must balance procedure with instinct, chasing clues across a landscape where trust is scarce and violence is real. The tension comes as much from what stays hidden as from the gunfire, and the justice system becomes a stubborn, fragile thing in this unsettled frontier.

Released in 1996 and directed by David Hemmings, Lone Justice: Showdown at Plum Creek marks Hemmings latest western venture. The cast features Luis Ávalos, Brenda Bakke, Wes Studi, and Brad Johnson in key roles.

Box office data for this title is not publicly documented, and there is no widely reported worldwide gross from major databases.

Critical reception for the film is hard to pin down, but the story leans into classic frontier themes of law and order under pressure, loyalty, and the cost of violence. The sheriff figures out that truth may depend on listening as well as shooting.
