The Highwaymen is a 2019 American historical crime film helmed by John Lee Hancock, the director of The Alamo and The Blind Side, and screenwriter of the Costner-starring 1993 feature A Perfect World . This film was written by John Fusco, the screenwriter of such period films as Young Guns, Young Guns II, Thunderheart, and Hidalgo. The movie focuses on the 1934 manhunt for Bonnie and Clyde that was run by the famous Texas Ranger Frank Hamer (Kevin Costner). Woody Harrelson portrays Benjamin Maney Gault who served with Hamer in the Rangers and participated in the manhunt operation. The movie was filmed in Louisiana in the winter and spring of 2018. The production filmed the (in)famous ambush of Bonnie and Clyde at the actual location on Highway 154 in Northern Louisiana from March 21 - March 25, 2018. In order to be period correct, the production had to truck in dirt, since the highway is now a paved two lane highway. Trees were also planted to ensure that the location looked like it did on May 23, 1934. The Highwaymen premiered in the US on Netflix on March 29, 2019.


The following weapons were used in the film The Highwaymen:

Rifles/Carbines

Browning Automatic Rifle (Cutdown)

The custom cutdown model of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) was Clyde Barrow's preferred weapon in real life, and is used by both Clyde (Edward Bossert) and Bonnie (Emily Brobst). Hamer also mentions that Clyde "uses a special magazine to fire forty rounds" (which already seems to be referencing an actual very rare extended magazine), while the more common rumor says about sixty rounds in a magazine, made from three ones. However, Clyde's actual use of such magazines is highly questionable.

Remington Model 8 Autoloading Rifle

Frank Hamer (Kevin Costner) carries the Remington Model 8 during the final confrontation in Louisiana. Hamer did use a Remington Model 8 in the ambush. The only difference is Hamer's rifle in reality was equipped with a custom 15 round magazine.
