The Hateful Eight
A few years after the end of the Civil War, two bounty hunters, Marquis Warren (Jackson) and John Ruth (Russell), have a chance meeting in rural Wyoming.

With a brutal blizzard fast approaching, the trio takes shelter in a roadside lodge where a group of suspicious men is also hoping to wait out the storm.
