Already labeled “GAME OF THRONES for westerns” by a younger generation, HORIZONS: AN AMERICAN SAGE Part 1 is a sensational journey of survival. With a huge cast of recognizable faces, and some newcomers, Part 1 of Writer/Director Kevin Costner’s anthology has many great moments and, like THRONES, a multitude of very strong characters. Storylines introduce us to different groups, settlers of various ethnicities heading west, soldiers protecting them and the land, Native Americans, Chinese immigrants and others providing a diverse mix of people filmed against a variety of geographical plains.

For filmmaker and storyteller Costner, there is love, violence, death, and humor all mixed together in a compelling anthology set against magnificent vistas of the West. And…it’s only the beginning of the story! Part 2 will be released August 2024. Parts 3 and 4, next summer.

Appearing in all four parts is actress Elizabeth Dennehy as the wife of soldier Michael Rooker. The casting in the film is, as expected, fantastic.

Following her Father, actor Brian Dennehy into the profession, Elizabeth, probably best known for playing Lieutenant Commander Shelby on STAR TREK: TNG and PICARD, Elizabeth had decided to teach Shakespeare for several years until she got the call for HORIZON. How did Elizabeth Dennehy come to be cast? What was her inside track? Her story is amazing.

Join Elizabeth and Rob Word for a conversation about working in the truly epic motion picture, HORIZON, and her work in Robert Urich’s overlooked TV western, THE LAZARUS MAN. Elizabeth was in the two hour movie pilot for the series and has fond memories of Urich and of Santa Fe.
