When it comes to Westerns as a genre, the one person who always comes to mind is the Academy Award-winning filmmaker and actor Kevin Costner. Some of Costner’s most famous projects include Dances with Wolves, Message in a Bottle, and Yellowstone amongst several others.
If one started listing Costner’s entire filmography from 1981, it might take them a while, which is why we’re here to focus on his upcoming project, Horizon: An American Saga.

Horizon: An American Saga will be a Western, much like most of Costner’s work, however, this movie is a lot more elaborate in every way one could imagine, and we’re here to tell you all about it.
What is the Plot of Horizon: An American Saga?
In the movie, the audiences will witness almost every little trope that can be found in a classic Western. This will span over the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, and is set to explore the story of the Old West and how it was won, and lost, through the blood, sweat and tears of many involved.
There are several moving pieces when it comes to Horizon: An American Saga, which is why this Western epic will be divided into two chapters!
The Cast of Horizon: An American Saga
Anything and everything that Kevin Costner stars in, directs, or produces, is seldom low-key when it comes to the cast, the movie is no different. This upcoming Western saga will have an ensemble cast, and that must come as no shocker to anyone reading this article.
You will recognize several names in this talented cast and might get to witness a few new faces.
Horizon: An American Saga will star the likes of Jena Malone, Sienna Miller, Giovanni Ribisi, Will Patton, Luke Wilson, Jeff Fahey, and of course Costner to name a few. Albeit, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the cast of the movie.
When is Horizon: An American Saga Releasing?
As aforementioned, Horizon: An American Saga is a two-part event, however, for all those who are awaiting this saga, you won’t have to wait a year or two for the second part, and that might just be one of the most unique things about Kevin Costner’s upcoming venture.
the movie is set to release on June 28, 2024, and the second chapter will hit the theatres on August 16, 2024. So while the release date is still a couple of months away, the hype has most certainly begun, and it might be time to mark your calendars.
Conclusion
The Western genre might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but Horizon: An American Saga is set to be a turning point in cinema, and there’s no doubt about it.
