The Echoes of the Prairie Wind is a 2026 American neo-Western crime film written, co-produced, and directed by Jodie Foster. Produced by Legendary Pictures and The Stone Quarry and distributed by Universal Pictures, it is the installment in the Frontier's Wild trilogy and the first film directed by Foster herself about the modern American Western Frontier. The film stars Cara Delevingne, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Shannon, Brad Pitt, Vincent D'Onofrio, Scott Eastwood, Olivia Wilde, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, and Allison Janney. It follows Clementine Gritstone, a young police ranger who works with her veteran partner, Darrell Cyrus, to solve a series of violent murders across several Native American territories within North Dakota's half of the Drift Prairie. The Echoes of the Prairie Wind had its world premiere in Las Vegas on January 29th, 2026, and opened in theaters on February 10th; it received widespread acclaim and grossed over $715 million worldwide at the box-office, making it the eleventh-highest-grossing film of 2026. Critics praised its direction, visuals, style, themes, story, and Delevingne and Jackson's performances. However, they were slightly conflicted over the violent content and deemed the third act "emotionally draining", and some were divided over its excessive 3-hour runtime. A sequel is in development.
