The film, set in the Territory of New Mexico in the 1870s, stars John Terlesky as the titular Deputy United States Marshal Custis Long, and features René Auberjonois as real-life territorial governor (and author of Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ) Lew Wallace.[1] The film was intended as a pilot for a TV series based on the books, but the program was not picked up.[1][2]
The "occasionally humorous script" was written by David J. Chisholm, a "veteran Western writer".[2]
