Is the movie The Ballad of Buster Scruggs available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?
At Stream Tracker, we take a look at The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018), the Coen brothers’ darkly comic anthology set on the brutal, beautiful frontier. Six vignettes — a sharp‑shooting songster, a would‑be bank robber, two weary traveling performers, a lone gold prospector, a woman heading west into the unknown, and a motley carriage crew — unfold like a series of morality ballads, full of saloon songs, shootouts, and bleakly funny reckonings. Now streaming on Netflix, the film blends lyrical folk tunes and frontier justice with the Coens’ trademark sting, and earned critical acclaim, even attracting Academy Award attention.
Synopsis
Across dusty roads and frontier towns as the Civil War draws to a close, a string of short, interlaced stories follows a gun-toting troubadour who charms saloons with song; an eager would-be bank robber chasing one final score; two weary traveling performers struggling to keep their act—and each other—alive; a lone prospector combing the hills for a glint of fortune; a woman heading west into an uncertain future; and an improbable group of strangers sharing a creaking stagecoach. Their paths intersect in fleeting encounters and uneasy alliances, where small acts of courage, selfishness, and compassion leave lasting marks. Together they form a mosaic of a nation in transition, where hope and hardship travel hand in hand across an unforgiving landscape.
