West of the Rainbow's End

West of the Rainbow's End is a stark, silent-era exploration of the returning soldier's disillusionment, framed within the rugged architecture of a traditional Western. Brandon, portrayed with a weary grit by Tom London, returns from the harrowing trenches of World War I France, expecting the solace of his family ranch. Instead, he finds a homestead hollowed out by greed. His father has been murdered, and the local land-grabber, Palmer, has leveraged the chaos of the war years to seize the Brandon estate. The film tracks Brandon’s methodical reclamation of his birthright, a journey that necessitates a transition from a soldier of the state to a vigilante of the frontier. It is a story of domestic warfare, where the enemy isn't across a no-man's-land, but sitting in your father's chair.
