Lincoln County Incident

About This Movie

Lincoln County Incident, released in 1980, offers a peculiar blend of comedy and western vibes, all delivered through the lens of a hundred school kids. You wouldn’t expect such an ambitious project, but it’s got a certain charm. Samson Peabody-Jones, our not-so-heroic lead, dives into the wild west only to find himself tangled in absurd situations that are as comical as they are chaotic. The pacing is a bit uneven, reflecting that youthful exuberance of the cast, yet it somehow adds to the film's quirky charm. The practical effects, given the context, feel refreshingly earnest. Not every performance hits the mark, but the sheer enthusiasm from the young actors brings a unique atmosphere that’s hard to replicate.

Unique film featuring an entirely child cast.Combines elements of comedy with traditional western themes.Highlights the adventurous spirit of childhood.
