Missourie Breaks - Movie

 1976. Marlon Brando. Jack Nicholson.

Jack Nicholson plays Tom Logan who heads a gang of rustlers who steal horses. They cross paths with a landlord Braxton who kills one of their gang for trying to steal his cattle. The battle escalates with Braxton hiring Clayton (Marlon Brando) who is a regulator (one who fixes rustlers for a fee). Braxton's daughter falls for Tom (god knows why) while Clayton finishes off the rest of the rustler gang. But Tom kills him and Braxton - and still Braxton's daughter comes running to him asking if they have a future together. Again moral dilemmas galore - why is the thief a hero?

But Brando and Nicholson ignite the screen as the ad says.
