First Nights of 2001 and 2002
The only feature film with the participation of Timothy Dalton was
issued during the two last years. But then this one is on the big screen! For the majority of
Russian Timothy Dalton's admirers it will be, probably, the first time they could watch the movie
with the idol in the film theatre.
"American Outlaws" became "American Heroes" while were moving from
USA to Russia! Well, this probably successful promotion stunt will help to make Russians to take
an interest in the destinies of famed gangsters. Indeed, Russian viewers are not so good informed
in this field, as their American vis-à-vis ones. The hudreds of books and films about Jesse James,
the tens of books and films about the great detective Allan Pinkerton in English - from the one side
of Atlantic Ocean, - the units of the dubbed films with the mentioning of the name of Jesse and the
complete absence the books even about Allan Pinkerton in Russian - from the other one.
The American First night took place on August, 17, 2001. It"s
impossible to tell, that the responses in the local press were only warm, and the viewers'
estimations were different - from admiration to the slashing criticism. However the work of Timothy
Dalton, as usual, won only a praise!
So - don't miss it!
We publish here the advertising materials about the demonstration of
the film "American Outlaws" in Russia, kindly given us by the managers of
the company "Ekatherinburg-Art", which provides the exhibition of "American Outlaws" in our country.

Synopsis of the film
The company "Ekatherinburg-ART" and the company "Warner Brothers /
Morgan Creek " announce the film "American Heroes/American Outlaws" - the new comedy-action movie
with the 60 MILLIONS DOLLARS dollars budget, directed by LES MAYFIELD ("Áðèëëèàíòîâûé Policeman",
"Flubber").
This film was appeared on the screens of America on August 17, 2001
and since that time is in the ten of the best films there. Such a popular actors as Timothy Dalton
(James Bond:
License to kill",
"Cleopatra"), Colin Scott Caan ("Gone in Sixty Seconds", "Enemy of the State"), Ali Larter
("House on Hounted Hill"), Colin Farrell (he was called by American journalists "the new Brad Pitt"
and debuted here on the big screen). The film tells the story of the legendary American gangster
Jesse James and his gang.
Bad is good again.
This is the story of the most legendary bandits of America, " Robin
Hoods of the New World", the audacious young soldiers, who returned home after the Civil War and
were forced to declare vendetta to the powerful railroad barons. The gang, created by the fellows
becomes the object of the biggest manhunt, headed by the famous detective Allan Pinkerton (TIMOTHY
DALTON). At the first time unappreciated by their adversaries, the young gangsters were practically
impregnable. They fight the adversary with his own weapon - they take money from his purse, putting
to the sack the trains and banks. The gangsters give a part of their loot to the farmers and
have-nots, conquering this way a popularity among the people, who announces them heroes. The glory
of the uncatchable bandits grows and the name of their leader Jesse James (COLIN FARRELL) becomes a
legend.
Another version of the Synopsis from "EA":
Every film director has his own vision of the Wild West history: and
Les Mayfield decided to romanticize the grim reality again and transformed the gang of robbers, led
by Jesse James, to the fiery fighters for justice, like Robin Hoods. The bad fellow Tadeush Reins,
the railroad baron, occupied his native town Liberty (a very good name for the birthplace of the
soldiers, who fought with the southerners!) with the aim to make a railroad through the city. And no
other, but Allan Pinkerton, the right detective, helps him to drive the inhabitants of this place.
(Timothy Dalton, ex-James Bond, performs the part of Pinkerton). Jesse and Frank James can't accept
the methods, the baron used, especially, if to take into consideration the fact they just returned
after the war, where they lost it. Jesse had assembled a gang from his former fellow soldiers, his
sympathizers from the town and Comanche. After that they begin to sabotage the rail- road building,
to robber banks, which were the sponsors, to robber the Rail-road Services. Jesse dreams to return
his native town, where his lover girl is waiting for him. But there are the conflicts in the gang,
which are dangerous, as Pinckerton, the weaponed arm of Law…
