What Is Lawmen: Bass Reeves About?

The premise of Lawmen: Bass Reeves without spoilers.

Some legends turn out to be true. The film dramatizes the life of Bass Reeves, the famed post‑Reconstruction lawman who served as a federal peace officer in the Indian Territory. Over his career he tracked and apprehended more than 3,000 of the West’s most dangerous outlaws, never once being wounded, and his feats are thought to have inspired the myth of the Lone Ranger.
