Dead Man

Johnny Depp stars in this Western drama written and directed by Jim Jarmusch.

Set in 19th-century America, William Blake (Depp) travels west to the company town of Machine to take up a position at Dickinson's metal works, only to find that the vacancy has already been filled.

After being chased away by the company's tough owner John Dickinson (Robert Mitchum), Blake becomes involved in a series of chaotic and violent confrontations which leave him wounded and close to death.

However, Blake's fortunes soon change when he is befriended by a Native American named Nobody (Gary Farmer), who vows to be his guide as he continues with the rest of his journey.
