Harder They Fall Cast & Real-Life Character Guide

Jeymes Samuel’s The Harder They Fall tackles Old West outlaws seeking revenge for past crimes, supported by an all-star predominantly Black cast bringing the real-life characters to the screen. The true story of Netflix’s The Harder They Fall follows the Nat Love gang as they seek out revenge on the man that murdered Nat’s parents as a child. The movie documents the crimes and rivalries of notable gangs in 19th-century Texas, with Nat Love serving as the protagonist outlaw who only robs from other outlaws.
