Welcome back to Wildwestfaces, before Butch Cassidy. Before Jesse James. There was Dave Rudebaugh—the most daring and peculiar highwayman the American West ever produced.

This gripping documentary uncovers the true story of a criminal genius, described by lawmen as “fearless,” “brilliant,” and “without peer—even in the tales of Turpin romance.” Known as Billy the Kid’s uneasy partner, Rudebaugh carved out a bloody and baffling career from Ohio to New Mexico, leaving behind a trail of stagecoach raids, train heists, prison escapes, and federal indictments.

Told through the words of Post Office Special Agent Gen. R. A. Cameron, this film explores:

Rudebaugh’s cold-eyed discipline and refusal to rob passengers

His deadly jailbreaks and infamous escape from Las Vegas jail

His rivalry and reluctant alliance with Billy the Kid

The boldness that made him a legend—and the cunning that kept him alive

With a record of theft estimated at over $1,000,000—yet a claimed aversion to murder—Rudebaugh’s legacy is as complex as it is dangerous.

Outlaw. Gentleman. Ghost.
This is the untold story of Dave Rudebaugh—America’s most elusive desperado.
