John Sayles' *Lone Star* (1996) is a masterful crime drama that delves into the deep-rooted tensions of a Texas border town. Sheriff Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper) is forced to confront his father’s legacy when a decades-old skeleton is unearthed, reopening long-buried secrets. As Sam investigates, he begins to question the town’s history, his father’s role as a revered sheriff, and the truth behind the murder of the cruel and racist former lawman Charley Wade (Kris Kristofferson). Featuring standout performances from Matthew McConaughey, Elizabeth Peña, Joe Morton, and Frances McDormand, *Lone Star* is a gripping mystery wrapped in a rich exploration of identity, power, and justice.
