This week’s releases include a Western about a wounded outlaw who finds unexpected mercy in the care of a rancher’s daughter and must choose the kind of man he’ll become, a concert film of when Queen made history by performing in Hungary in 1986 while the country was under Communist control behind the Iron Curtain, a film about a Facebook engineer who enlisted the help of a Wall Street Journal reporter to blow the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets, and much more!
