Overview
The Outsider is a 2002 television movie that falls within the drama, romance, and western genres. The film features a runtime of one hour and fifty-nine minutes and received an R rating. The story centers on Rebecca Yoder, a widow and sheep farmer living in Montana. Yoder chooses to provide sanctuary to an outlaw named Johnny Gault, who arrives at her farm suffering from a gunshot wound. This decision creates significant conflict within Yoder’s devout Quaker community, as her association with the outsider threatens her standing among her neighbors. As a romance develops between Yoder and Gault, the community faces an external threat from an evil rancher attempting to seize their land. In this situation, Gault’s skills as a sharpshooter become a potential asset for the community. The film was released in the United States on November 10, 2002. This production is distinct from the 2020 television miniseries of the same name, which was based on a novel by Stephen King and focused on a murder investigation.
