Debuting in 1957, MAVERICK put a whole new spin on the cowboy mythos, chronicling the comic adventures of a gambler who would rather escape with his skin than die the stoic hero. In this made-for-TV movie, James Garner reprises the role of the picaresque character that made him famous--and who always had a few cards up his sleeve--Bret Maverick. Years after they last hit the dusty trail, Bret and his brother Bart (Jack Kelly) pass on the torch to their ne'er-do-well cousin, Ben (Charles Frank). But this ex-college boy has a lot to learn as the three go after a slew of train robbers in this entertaining romp that kicked off the short-lived series THE NEW MAVERICK. [More]
