Watch The Hateful Eight

The Hateful Eight is a Western-style mystery set in the late 1800's after the American Civil War. In it, a stagecoach driver, O.B. Jackson, two bounty hunters, Marquis Warren and John Ruth, and Ruth's prisoner, Daisy Domergue, meet up with Chris Mannix, who claims to be the incoming sheriff of the town of Red Rock. The five of them stop at a stagecoach lodge to escape a blizzard and meet Bob, who says he is currently running the lodge while the owner is out of town, as well as two others - quiet cowboy Joe Gage and former Confederate General Sanford Smithers. Each of the eight is suspicious of the others for reasons of their own, and things come to a head after a mysterious someone poisons the coffee. The climax plays out amid flashback scenes that reveal each character's true identity and their purpose in traveling to Red Rock.
