Harris had a number-one singing hit in Australia, Jamaica and Canada, and a top-ten hit in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States with his 1968 recording of Jimmy Webb's song "MacArthur Park". In 2020, he was listed at number 3 on The Irish Times's list of Ireland's greatest film actors.

In this alternate 1970 classic western adaptation of Red Dead Redemption II, the Van der Linde gang is a family of outlaws struggling to survive as the American frontier rapidly disappears. Arthur Morgan, a loyal and battle-worn outlaw, begins to question the life he has always known when his charismatic leader Dutch van der Linde leads the gang from one disastrous situation to another. As the pressure from the law, rival gangs and powerful industrialists increases, Arthur must decide whether to remain loyal to Dutch or protect the people who have become his family. Set against the final days of the Old West, this tragic story follows loyalty, betrayal, redemption and the inevitable end of an outlaw era.
