The movie starts with Bret Maverick at the end of a noose, sitting on a horse, out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the men who put the noose around his neck in the first place. Then the movie goes into a flashback that tells about the week leading up to this point. A very large chunk of the movie takes place in the flashback. Bret hasn't had the best of luck over the last week. His horse was stolen and he had to replace it with a donkey, his friends double cross him when it comes to issues of money that they owe him, he nearly gets his butt kicked after a game of poker goes sour, his lucky shirt gets shrunk, and all sorts of other misfortunes. While playing poker he meets Mrs. Annabelle Bransford (Foster), a thief who is also trying to get into the poker tournament. They get stuck riding on the same stagecoach together, along with Marshal Zane Cooper (Garner). True to Bret's luck, the driver has a heart attack and the coach goes out of control. He plays the hero and stops it of course, since he is the hero of the movie, and they continue along on their way to the tournament. They encounter a group of settlers that have been robbed by Indians, or at least who believe they have been robbed by Indians, and Bret agrees to help them get back their stuff for a cut of the money he'd be recovering for them. He finds the group of whites who were masquerading as Indians and gets the goods from them, and then when they return the goods, real Indians show up, ones that are actually friends with Bret. The encounter between the Indians and the settlers is one of the more hilarious parts of the movie. After Bret goes along with the Indians and has some interesting encounters with them, we finally catch up to the present, where Bret is dangling from that noose again. He gets out of it and makes his way to the poker tournament. I'm not going to say whether he wins or loses the tournament, but I'm sure you can guess. But if you haven't seen this movie before, there are probably quite a few things you won't be able to guess, as this movie has many different plot twists and turns along the way. It's absolutely hilarious and in my opinion, a classic. .

Bolt - A fun and creative movie that is entertaining for both kids and adults. Predictable but very cute!.

Lots of adventure, laughs, and good old western flavor. Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster work very well together..
missing the theme song
Mel Gibson's Bret Maverick, Jr. could belong in the television Maverick
family, which included Bart, Brent, and Beau, but not to James Garner's
Bret Maverick. The old television Maverick was, in my view, Garner's
best role. I love Jodie Foster whose roles are usually playing someone
who is or seems to be in over her head, and she's not too bad in this
as Annabelle, but we might want a more casual show of confidence from
this sly coquette, though some of the original show's female hustlers
played as easily on their own appearance of being un-confident, as they
did and then didn't, upon Maverick's intent to be a gentleman towards
them.

It's clever to have James Garner show up as "my old Pappy," but the
line that inspires it doesn't really get played. The television program
was filled with its in-jokes, the most notable were about Dad. The
fill-in-the-blank line "my old Pappy used to say..." is a defining
wackiness, a common source of all kinds of folksy wisdom, some obvious,
some insightful, and some totally cockeyed, the nature and display of
which leads us to wonder if any of these quotes actually comes from
Dad. And Dad's exploits, as rendered by the Maverick brothers, add up
to a bizarre collective unconscious more than a human being. There are
two times I can remember when our curiosity about Pappy is addressed,
once when we meet a stranger identified as Pappy, as it turns out, only
to set up a hustle, and the other time, Pappy has apparently
reincarnated as a slightly tamed crow, hopping around town and engaging
humans a bit. Garner's secret connection as Dad in the movie is hardly
the oddity we would expect from "my old Pappy" of yore.

The oddest mismatch, however, was the disappearance of the theme song.
It isn't unusual that the music from an original doesn't make to the
remake, but the film was written with the television theme song in
mind, which has the chorus lines: "Riverboat ring your bell.
Fair-thee-well Annabelle..," although the TV show may never have had an
Annabel character. With the song clearly in my head, I laughed when it
turned out that the movie would be with a lady named Annabelle and it
would climax on a riverboat, but, as it turned out, the theme was a
no-show; the film lacked any acknowledgment or reference to the song.
Another victim of an unnecessary re-write, some frivolous cost-cutting?

Graham Greene's character, a larcenous Indian, though minor, was
probably the best in the film, and the humor of his role was probably
most typical of the spirit of the TV show. The visual comedy of Bret's
hanging is not so bad, either.

If you liked the movie, you'll love the 1957 television series. If you
liked the TV series, the movie is not utterly without merit. As my old
Pappy used to say....
