Plot – Four former convicts - innocent, funny and generous - ride to Silverado, a remote village in the vast expanses of the West. Emmett and his brother Jake are going to visit their sister's family and then carry on towards California. Paden is moved by a spirit of adventure. The fourth man, black Mal, is going to join his old father and return to work the land with him and his sister, but the old man has had his goods violently expropriated by a sinister local landowner, Carter, whose thugs have killed him and Mal's sister. Moreover, Emmett's brother-in-law is killed, his nephew kidnapped and, to make matters worse, Sheriff Cobb, a former thief and co-owner of the local saloon with old Mrs Stella, is in business with the bad guys. There is enough to unleash all possible reactions.

- Paden: Can't you see this horse loves me?
- Cavalry Sergeant: I had a gal do that to me. It didn't make her my wife.”- Mal: Is there a place in town that takes "my kind"?
- Sheriff Langston: You misunderstand. I want you out of town. In fact, I want you all the way out of my jurisdiction.
- Mal: That ain't right.
- Sheriff Langston: I decide what's right in this jurisdiction. Now, move.“- Cobb: I was hoping you'd changed your mind about the job.

- Jake: Yeah, I kissed a girl, and this other fella didn't like it, so we had some words, and so I decided to get out of there. So I did, I got out of there.

- Paden: I like your attitude. But it can be risky.”
