Inspired by the majesty of a vast and unsettled land, this exhilarating film follows the adventures of one determined family in their relentless drive westward. For three generations, the Prescotts take on treacherous rapids, ruthless gunfighters, barbarous pirates and even runaway locomotives in their ardent pursuit of land, gold and glory in the American west.
