Monte Walsh (2003) is a Western television film directed by Simon Wincer, starring Tom Selleck as the titular character. A remake of the 1970 film of the same name, it is based on Jack Schaefer’s novel Monte Walsh. The movie captures the fading era of the American cowboy in the late 19th century, as the frontier lifestyle is slowly overtaken by modernization and corporate expansion.

Monte Walsh, an aging cowboy, struggles to come to terms with the changing world around him. Alongside his longtime friend Chet Rollins (Keith Carradine), he tries to hold onto the traditional cowboy way of life. However, as ranches are bought out and open ranges disappear, Monte is faced with difficult choices about his future. His relationship with saloon girl Martine Bernard (Isabella Rossellini) provides a rare source of warmth amid the hardships of a dying era.

The film highlights themes of loyalty, resilience, and the inevitable passage of time. Monte’s journey is not just about survival but about preserving a way of life that is slipping away. As his world grows smaller, he must decide whether to adapt or stay true to the old ways, even as everything around him changes.

Premiering on TNT in 2003, Monte Walsh received praise for its heartfelt storytelling, strong performances, and beautiful cinematography that captures the vast yet lonely landscapes of the Old West. It remains a poignant tribute to the last cowboys and the end of an era.
