Unforgiven

Presented in Memory of Gene Hackman (1930–2025)

Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman and Richard Harris star in his unsparing Western saga of a man who cannot escape his violent destiny. Heroes and legends rise and fall on the harsh American frontier in Unforgiven. Eleven years have passed since Billy Munny (Eastwood) laid down his weapons, dedicating himself to his young children and struggling farm. But when a huge bounty lures Munny back into action with his loyal partner, Ned Logan (Freeman), the tortured former gunslinger faces vicious sheriff Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman) and the lethally elegant mercenary English Bob (Harris). Even more terrifying, Munny finds himself regressing into the cold-blooded killer he once was.

In Memory of Gene Hackman, whose performance as Sheriff “Little” Bill Daggett won him Best Supporting Actor at the 65th Academy Awards.

"Hackman resists the temptation to overplay this double-sided character, and this Oscar-winning performance is all the more unsettling for it."
Pamela Hutchinson, The Guardian
