Lonesome Dove Collection (4-DVD)

This box set brings into one package four different miniseries in the Lonesome Dove saga. It begins with the original, six-hour LONESOME DOVE from 1989, starring Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones as friends who undertake an arduous cattle drive to Montana during the late 19th Century, accompanied by characters including a prostitute (Diane Lane), an illegitimate son (Rick Schroeder), and several old buddies (Robert Urich, Danny Glover and Tim Scott). The package then includes the sequel, RETURN TO LONESOME DOVE (1993), with Jon Voight stepping into the Jones role as Call, joining forces with his son Newt to ward off some violent fellow ranchers. STREETS OF LAREDO (1995) casts James Garner in the Call role, as the character attempts to bring a psychopathic killer to justice. Finally, DEAD MAN'S WALK constitutes a prequel to the original LONESOME DOVE, following Gus and Woodrow's adventures as young cowboys.
