Silverado is the story of a rambling cowboy named Emmett (Scott Glenn) who was just released from jail after serving time for killing a man and is headed for the town of Turley to join up with his brother Jake (Kevin Costner) and head on to Silverado. On his way to Turley, Emmett comes across a man lying in the desert named Paden (Kevin Kline) who was robbed and left for dead with no clothes, no horse and no food or water.  Arriving in Turley, Emmett and Paden meet Mal, another cowboy who gets run out of town by Sheriff John Langston (John Cleese).

They discover that Jake is locked up and awaiting a hanging for killing a man (in self-defense). In Turley, Paden is thrown into jail with Jake after he encounters and kills one of the men who robbed him. Emmett helps his brother and Paden escape their jail cell and the three are pursued by Sheriff Langston’s posse. Mal is a sharp shooter and targets Langston and helps them escape.  Mal joins them in their journey to Silverado. Soon after arriving, they discover that the town has fallen into the grasp of greedy rancher Ethan McKendrick (Ray Baker) and corrupt Sheriff Cobb (Brian Dennehy) with whom many of Emmet’s men have unfinished business.
