American Frontier Trilogy / Sicario

Taylor Sheridan’s American Frontier Trilogy is a set of neo-Western crime films exploring crime and violence on the modern-day American frontier, starting with ‘Sicario’ in 2015. ‘Hell or High Water’ followed in 2016, and ‘Wind River,’ starring Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen, closed the trilogy in 2017 as the only entry Sheridan also directed. ‘Sicario’ follows an FBI agent pulled into a covert war on Mexican drug cartels, while ‘Wind River’ was written to raise awareness of a real-world issue, though my sources don’t give details on the plot of ‘Hell or High Water.’
