What is The Homesman about?

When three women living on the edge of the American frontier are driven mad by harsh pioneer life, the task of saving them falls to the pious, independent-minded Mary Bee Cuddy. Transporting the women by covered wagon to Iowa, she soon realizes just how daunting the journey will be, and employs a low-life drifter, George Briggs, to join her. The unlikely pair and the three women head east, where a waiting minister and his wife have offered to take the women in. But the group first must traverse the harsh Nebraska Territories marked by stark beauty, psychological peril and constant threat.

The Homesman is a 2014 Western historical drama film set in the 1850s' Great Plains and directed by Tommy Lee Jones and written by Jones, Kieran Fitzgerald, and Wesley Oliver based on the 1988 novel by Glendon Swarthout. The film stars Jones, Hilary Swank, Meryl Streep, Miranda Otto and Tim Blake Nelson.
