This 1979 miniseries marks the first time Selleck truly stepped into a story that matched his talents. Paired with Sam Elliott and Jeff Osterhage in an adaptation of a Louis L’Amour tale, The Sacketts tells the story of three brothers navigating life in the post-Civil War West. With a cast that includes Ben Johnson, Slim Pickens and a saloon full of Western veterans, this early-career epic showed Selleck belongs in the genre and has remained a fan favorite.
