Brief Synopsis
Film Details
Synopsis
Chronicles the bygone era of the b-western and the colorful citizens of Pioneertown, CA a dusty outpost on the edge of the Mojave Desert in the shadow of Los Angeles. Built in 1946 by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, the town served as the backdrop for some of Hollywood's last b-westerns and television serials, including The Cisco Kid, Buffalo Bill Jr. and Gene Autry's final film, The Last of the Pony Riders. However, by the mid '50's Pioneertown sat forgotten and decaying in the desert sun and became a hangout for motorcycle gangs, dope dealers, real cowboys, outlaws and desert drifters surviving in the remarkable freedom afforded by crumbling film sets of near forgotten b-western movies.
