Tall Tale

A young boy draws inspiration from legendary western figures to find strength against an evil land baron in the Old West who seeks to steal his family’s farm and dismantle their community. When Daniel Hackett sees his father Jonas gravely wounded by the villainous Stiles, he initially urges his family to flee the danger and abandon their farm, which Daniel has come to dislike. He goes alone to a lake to decide what to do, falls asleep on a boat, and awakens in the Wild West alongside “tall‑tale” legends such as Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan, John Henry and Calamity Jane. Together they confront the same villains Daniel faces in his real world, culminating in a confrontation where the boy stands up to Stiles and his henchmen and rallies his neighbors to resist land grabbers threatening their town.
