The myth of Jesse James is one of America's most familiar and most fictitious. James has been called America’s Robin Hood, yet he robbed rich and poor with equal fervour. He was known as a gunfighter, but his victims were almost always unarmed. In a life steeped in prolific violence and bloodshed, finally in 1882, a $10,000 bounty was too much for fellow gang member Bob Ford to resist. He assassinated unarmed James, shooting him from behind. This programme follows the life of Jesse James and documents his life on the run until his fateful demise.
