Plot Summary
This tale of friendship and survival set during the days of the 1860's focuses on a roguish group of runaways living by their wits and natural instincts. Two of them in particular are complementary opposites: Drew is a good boy from God-fearing stock in Ohio, out West to evade the draft. Jake is a scruffy scoundrel - a saddle tramp not above a little larceny here and there. Along the trail they encounter a variety of varmints and renegades. And eventually, they find themselves - older and wiser for the journey and friendship. Sensitively and realistically filmed.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A naturalistic, irreverent and sometimes broadly comic view of a largely ignored aspect of the Civil War gives Bad Company a refreshingly good name.
Fresh: Bad Company is an excellent film which combines wry humor and gritty action with in-depth characterizations of two youths on the lam in the Civil War west.
Fresh: The movie is built as a series of more-or-less self-contained episodes, and the episodes that work are worth the effort.
Fresh: Benton's first film, a Western good enough to make everything he has done since seem disappointing by comparison.
