Synopsis:

When three cowhands, John T. (John Clark Gable), B.D. (James Brolin, Catch Me If You Can, Westworld, Traffic), and July (Richard Roundtree, Brick, Shaft), are offered a magnificent Sorrel stallion in exchange for one of their mangy cowponies, they are naturally suspicious. It all becomes clear, however, when it appears the stallion is wild and vicious and unable to be ridden by anyone other than John T., who names him Jim.

Dubbed Bad Jim by his bruised and battered companions, the horse inexorably leads the trio into a life of crime. From simple cowhands, they become most-wanted outlaws in the West. Bank robbing and killing become the norm for these once pure and honest cowboys, ever since they became "tainted" by Bad Jim. But will they realize the cause of their problems before it's too late? Written and directed by Clyde Ware.

Veteran Hollywood screenwriter Clyde Ware handled the directing chores in Bad Jim. The film is worth noting as the cinematic debut of John Clark Gable, the son of guess who. Gable, James Brolin, and Richard Roundtree play three soft-hearted bandits who purchase a horse from Billy the Kid. They use the easily recognizable steed to convince their victims that they are members of Billy's gang-thus eliminating the nasty necessity of gunplay. One of the gang members breaks away from the others, taking the horse with him, and pretty soon he's every bit as mean and dangerous as the real Billy. The film's pace may be a bit too measured for some tastes, but the characters are believable and the story has its own peculiar logic. Bad Jim is slightly reminiscent of John Ford's Three Godfathers; both films, in fact, feature Harry Carey Jr. is a supporting role.
