Feeling grateful for the rancher who helps them and teaches them how to work and earn their livings, a group of young courageous gunmen, upon the murder of the rancher, struggles against taking their revenge from those criminals, but when Billy takes their leadership, incidents come to climax.
There are side pleasures to be found in going back and reliving the bad parts of the '80s. A rental of Young Guns lets us know that at least we're out of Reaganomics and the movies it spawned.

Young Guns is simply not a very good movie--western or otherwise. Fusco's script provides little character development and muddies the narrative with some unlikely supporting characters.
Christopher Cain directed this western from a script by John Fusco, and on the whole seems much more comfortable with the scroungy and scatological dialogue than he does with the action sequences.
