A movie that was shot for two days at Warren County Fairgrounds will make its big-screen debut this weekend at theaters, including Three Star Cinema.

“Desperate Riders,” a Western starring Drew Waters and Trace Adkins, will show at Three Star Cinema beginning Friday night at 7 p.m.

The film was shot entirely in Tennessee and is directed by Michael Feifer. He said no Westerns are filmed in the Volunteer State so he capitalized on the rustic backdrop of Fairfield Village for two days of 

Feifer said his crew spent three weeks filming the movie in February 2021. Despite Tennessee getting hit with a heavy layer of snow at that time, filming continued.

“It was shot in the snow, which is something you don’t see in a lot of Westerns,” said Feifer. “With the wind chill, we shot in 9- or 10-degree weather some days so I have to hand it to the actors for toughing it out.”

Adkins plays the bad guy in “Desperate Riders,” an outlaw named Thorn. He kidnaps a woman and tries to make her become his wife, but a posse is hot on his trail led by Waters playing Kansas Red.

“It has a lot of great characters and it’s a classic story,” said Feifer.

 “Desperate Riders” is rated PG-13. Show times are Friday at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., Saturday at 2:10 p.m., 7 p.m., and 9 p.m., and Sunday at 2:10 p.m. and 7 p.m.
