Unforgiven is a 1992 Western film directed by Clint Eastwood and the screenplay was by David Webb Peoples. The film told the story of a retired gunslinger who takes on one more job. A Western that deals frankly with the uglier aspects of violence and the myth of the Old West; it stars Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Richard Harris, Jaimz Woolvett, Saul Rubinek and Frances Fisher.
Eastwood dedicated the movie to former directors and mentors Don Siegel and Sergio Leone. The film won four Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Gene Hackman), Best Director, Best Film Editing and Best Picture. Unforgiven was inducted into the United States National Film Registry in 2004.
Other than the fact that both films are set in the West, this film has no relationship to the 1960 film The Unforgiven.
The Unforgiven is an American western film released in 1960. The troubled film was directed by John Huston and starred Burt Lancaster, Audrey Hepburn, Audie Murphy, Charles Bickford and Lillian Gish. The story was based upon a novel by Alan Le May.
The unusual film originally was meant to spotlight the issues of racism in the Old West. However, the movie is better known for problems behind the scenes than the movie itself. Huston often said this was his least satisfying movie.

The town whores just try to get by.Then a couple of cowboys cut up a whore. Unsatisfied with Bill's justice, the prostitutes put a bounty on the cowboys. The bounty attracts a young gun billing himself as 'The Schofield Kid', and aging killer William Munny. Munny reformed for his young wife, and has been raising crops and two children in peace. But his wife is gone. Farm life is hard. And Munny is no good at it. So he calls his old partner Ned, saddles his ornery nag, and rides off to kill one more time, blurring the lines between heroism and villainy, man and myth. Written by Charlie Ness
