Dead Man is a 1995 acid Western film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch. It stars Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer, Billy Bob Thornton, Iggy Pop, Crispin Glover, John Hurt, Michael Wincott, Lance Henriksen, Gabriel Byrne, Mili Avital, and Robert Mitchum in one of his final film performances. Set in the late 19th century, the story follows William Blake (Depp), a meek accountant on the run after killing a man.
