In 1870s America, a peaceful American settler murders his family's killer, unleashing the wrath of a notorious gang leader. His cowardly fellow townspeople then betray him, forcing him to hunt the outlaw alone. Set in a small western town in 1870s America, a mild-mannered Danish immigrant seeks revenge on the murderer after the loss of his family, only to become a thorn in the side of a notorious local villain. The town's greedy, cowardly residents all betray him, leaving the protagonist to face the outlaws alone. The Danish western drama "The Salvation" is scheduled to be released on October 2, 2014.
