The film tells the story of Robert Ford, a cowardly, insecure man who has grown up idolizing the outlaw Jesse James. With his exploits already immortalized in popular dime novels, the outlaw Jesse James has come to represent a romanticized vision of the renegade spirit of the West when he first meets nineteen-year-old Robert Ford. The younger brother of one of the members of James's gang, Ford harbors an obsessive idolatry toward James that will take a deadly turn as their relationship progresses.
