Horizon Chapter 1 Max Release Date Set for Streaming Debut

Warner Bros. has announced the Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1 Max release for the upcoming streaming debut of Kevin Costner‘s latest Western epic drama. This comes after over a month since the film’s theatrical release.

“In the great tradition of Warner Bros. Pictures’ iconic Westerns, Horizon: An American Saga explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won—and lost—through the blood, sweat and tears of many,” reads the synopsis. “Spanning the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, Costner’s ambitious cinematic adventure will take audiences on an emotional journey across a country at war with itself, experienced through the lens of families, friends, and foes all attempting to discover what it truly means to be the United States of America.”
