Not many movies can take credit for bringing about the demise of a movie studio--but Michael Cimino's ego-driven, overblown Western is one of them. These days, its $40 million budget would barely cover the cost of an Adam Sandler film--but in 1981, it virtually put United Artists out of business. Cimino, fresh from an Oscar for The Deer Hunter, spent months assembling this ultimately gorgeous and confusing story of the Johnson County cattle wars of 1881, with a cast that included Kris Kristofferson, Jeff Bridges, John Hurt, Christopher Walken, Isabelle Huppert, and many more. Almost four hours in its original form, the film was cut to less than three for an abortive commercial release, then restored for video. Anyway you look at it, this is a mess better viewed as a curiosity than anything else. --Marshall Fine

Customer Reviews of Heaven's Gate
Pay no attention to the professional critics & naysayers...this is great stuff! Lost in American culture's desire to have it all now and not have to think about it, "Heaven's Gate" is reportedly regarded by Europeans to be a great western. <
>I'll side with them. <
>Kristofferson emotes, Bridges is Everyman, Walken wrestles with evil, Huppert is never more beautiful and it took years for me to watch Waterston again after playing such an evil character in this. <
>Try it. It's at the top of my list along with "How the West Was Won" and "Shenandoah."
Heavens Gate.
Fantastic movie. I really enjoyed seeing it again. The only bad thing about the movie is that it was released 5 days after Star Wars.
Heaven's gate
Great period movie about a little known time and place in American history.
