All 5 Desperado Classic Movies

 

Alex McArthur


Desperado is a series of five Western TV movie starring Alex McArthur as the honest cowboy, Duell McCall,
beginning with the 1987 installment also titled Desperado and directed by Virgil W. Vogel.

Throughout the film series, McCall is "a man of principle who roams the West of yesteryear helping people
in trouble while struggling to get himself out of trouble—clearing himself of a false murder charge".
McCall's quest centers on "searching for a witness who can prove his innocence". The first TV movie was
originally intended to serve as the pilot for a weekly TV series, but the series did not materialize, and the film
instead had four TV movie sequels, also starring McArthur as McCall. The title was inspired by the
1973 Eagles song Desperado, which also served as the theme music for the series.
