Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Western genre was all but dead throughout the 1980s, but some key members of the Brat Pack helped revive it. For decades, Westerns were one of the most popular movie genres and made the careers of icons like John Wayne, Gary Cooper and Henry Fonda.
The Brat Pack Stacked Young Guns Revived The Western After Heaven's Gate Bombed Young Guns deserves credit for the 1990s Western revival 1980 saw the arrival of Heaven's Gate, an epic Western that was a passion project for director Michael Cimino. It soon became infamous for stories of Cimino's perfectionism, which saw the budget almost quadruple during filming.
Tom Cruise has a brief, silent cameo in Young Guns as a henchman who is shot and killed during the final gunfight. With the genre having been dormant on the big screen throughout most of the 1980s, there was seemingly a hunger among audiences for Westerns to make a comeback. The 1990s was a shockingly fruitful period too, which also boasted films like Maverick - itself a remake of a 1950s Western series - Bad Girls and Sam Raimi's The Quick and the Dead. Sadly, as the decade became increasingly focused on blockbusters following the success of Jurassic Park, Westerns began to fall out of favor once again.
