边境小镇女人(希拉里·斯万克饰)将汤米·李·琼斯饰演的无赖旷工救出,并一同护送三个精神病人从从内布拉斯州向西前往爱荷华州,一路上他们将在严酷、荒凉的自然环境中经历诸多磨难。 　　Music Composed by Marco Beltrami(3:10 to Yuma, Snowpiercer, Wolverine) 　　When three women living on the edge of the American frontier are driven mad by harsh pioneer life, the task of saving them falls to the pious, independent-minded Mary Bee Cuddy (Hilary Swank). Transporting the women by covered wagon to Iowa, she soon realizes just how daunting the journey will be, and employs a low-life drifter, George Briggs (Tommy Lee Jones, who also directed), to join her. The unlikely pair and the three women (Grace Gummer, Miranda Otto, Sonja Richter) head east, where a waiting minister and his wife (Meryl Streep) have offered to take the women in. But the group first must traverse the harsh Nebraska Territories marked by stark beauty, psychological peril and constant threat. 　　Oscar-nominated composer Marco Beltrami (The Hurt Locker) has composed a moving and beautiful score with delicate flavors of the setting and era.
