Frontera (2014) - Ed Harris Michael Pea Eva Longoria Amy Madigan

On the border between the U.S. and Mexico, Miguel Ramirez (Peña) crosses illegally for work. Upon entering the U.S. he meets Olivia (Madigan), the wife of Roy McNary (Harris), former sheriff and the owner of the land. Olivia gives him and his companion water and a blanket, and departs after telling them there is a highway not too far away where they can try to stop a ride. Shortly afterwards, local boys who are out to shoot Mexican immigrants to scare them start shooting at Miguel and Carl. Olivia rides back to investigate, but the shots scare the horse she was riding and she falls and hits her head on a rock. Miguel tries to help while Carl runs off, but is scared away by Roy who came because of the gunfire. Olivia is pronounced dead by the paramedics. A grieving Roy starts investigating his wife’s death for which he first accuses Miguel for, thinking he was trying to steal her horse. He finds the bullet shells the boys left behind, as well as a vigilante who shoots illegal immigrants.
