Although this film has no bearing whatsoever concerning the founding of The
Lonesome Dove Church in Grapevine, Texas which exists still today, the film is a
decent action western.
When some of his views don't meet with local approval, circuit riding preacher Tom Berenger goes off looking for a new place to pastor. He finds it in Texas with the assistance of his gunfighter son Greyston Holt.
Holt's on the run himself and as it turns out Berenger has some skills in that area that the Good Book doesn't approve of. As he says he wasn't always a preacher.
The people in the film don't dress like 1846 Texas which was when Texas became a state. Don't look for accuracy heree, just enjoy.
