The Hateful Eight

A few years after the end of the Civil War, two bounty hunters, Marquis Warren (Jackson) and John Ruth (Russell), have a chance meeting in rural Wyoming. Ruth has handcuffed himself to his latest bounty, the notorious fugitive Daisy Domergue (Leigh), and expresses paranoia that someone might try to steal his bounty and take the payment that he's expecting for her capture. With a brutal blizzard fast approaching, the trio takes shelter in a roadside lodge where a group of suspicious men is also hoping to wait out the storm. As the weather intensifies, the cast of nefarious characters becomes increasingly suspicious of each other and blood begins to spill.
