->''"It’s less inspired by one Western movie than by ''Series/{{Bonanza}}'', ''The Virginian'', ''High Chaparral''... Twice per season, those shows would have an [[BottleEpisode episode]] where [[HostageSituation a bunch of outlaws would take the lead characters hostage]]. They would come to the Ponderosa and hold everybody hostage, or go to Judge Garth’s place -- Creator/LeeJCobb played him -- in ''The Virginian'' and take hostages. There would be a guest star like Creator/DavidCarradine, Creator/DarrenMcGavin, Claude Akins, Creator/RobertCulp, Creator/CharlesBronson, or Creator/JamesCoburn. I don’t like that storyline in a modern context, but I love it in a Western, where you would pass halfway through the show to find out if they were good or bad guys, and they all had a past that was revealed. I thought, 'What if I did a movie starring nothing but '''those''' characters?' No heroes, no Michael Landons. Just a bunch of nefarious guys in a room, all telling backstories that may or may not be true. [[LockedInARoom Trap those guys together in a room with a blizzard outside]], give them guns, and see what happens."''
