Role model | Wil is a tough, hard-working, decent man of his word who takes care of his wife, and his workers, and fulfills all his obligations. The boys he hires are serious, responsible, loyal workers. One teenager seems like a tough troublemaker but he turns out to be a good person. |
Violence | Outlaws steal a herd of cattle and viciously attack the trail boss. Along with the only adult left in the group, the boys valiantly carry out a dangerous and well-laid plan to take down the rustlers and bring the herd to market. A bloody fistfight is shown. A man bashes another's head repeatedly against a tree trunk. A noose is placed around a black man's neck and white men prepare to hang him. Men shoot each other to death. Boys kill people with guns. Someone is trampled to death by cattle. A wounded bad guy is dragged to death by his horse. Cattle are branded. Young boys are seen off by crying parents. Crossing a river with the herd, a boy on horseback falls into the river and is saved by another boy. |
Sex | Boys riding the range encounter a troupe of traveling prostitutes who are lounging at a campsite in their underclothes (which look like long dresses). When an adult arrives he asks the madam that she not tempt the boys and she agrees that first sexual experiences are best when love is involved. The madam speaks in euphemisms about sex. Seeing a black man for the first time, curious young boys ask if his penis is black. A boy says he peeked into an adult show and saw a naked woman. |
Language | "S--t," "hell," "damn," "bitch," "bastard," "jackass," "t-ts," "old iron nuts," and several utterances of the "N" word. |
Drugs | Boys steal whiskey and get drunk, then suffer hangovers. A man spits out some chewing tobacco. |
