Murder at Yellowstone City (formerly titled Murder at Emigrant Gulch) is an American Western film directed by Richard Gray from a screenplay by Eric Belgau. [1]
In a gold-rush boomtown that has gone bust, a prospector strikes gold and is murdered. Sheriff Jim Ambrose (Gabriel Byrne) assumes that the killer is a newcomer, a former slave who calls himself Cicero (Isaiah Mustafa), because "he's the only man who doesn't know what [Ambrose will] do to him." But as it becomes clear that Cicero is innocent and as the mystery of the prospector's death deepens and puts the whole town in jeopardy, the town's new minister, Thaddeus Murphy (Thomas Jane), and his straight-shooting wife, Alice (Anna Camp), must stand up to Sheriff Ambrose and bring the true culprit to justice.
Principal photography began in May 2021 in Montana. [2] [3] At the Cannes Film Market in June 2021, additional casting was revealed, and it was announced that production had wrapped. [4]
In April 2022, it was announced that RLJE Films acquired North American distribution rights to the film, which would be released in theaters and on VOD on June 24, 2022. [5]
The film has a 25% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 20 reviews. [6]
