Movie Description Lavishly photographed, COMES A HORSEMAN is a dramatic Western set in the post-World War II "new West". Jane Fonda stars as Ella, a stubborn rancher who will not surrender her land to the local land baron (Jason Robards). Robards yearns for the good old days when land owners were kings and the past romantic history between him and Ella seems to have given him a proprietary sense in more ways than one. War veteran Frank (James Caan) teams up with Ella to help save her ranch and her heart.
