The Kid (2019) is a Western drama from director Vincent D'Onofrio that reimagines the Billy the Kid myth for modern audiences. James Franco stars as Billy—a quick-drawn, morally ambiguous gunfighter—who cuts a violent path across a harsh frontier. Ethan Hawke plays the weary lawman Pat Garrett, pursuing him in a tense contest between duty and humanity. Set against stark desert imagery, the film pairs brutal action with intimate, character-driven interrogation of legend and fate.
