## Synopsis

Maverick is a 1994 American Western comedy film directed by Richard Donner, and starring Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, and James Garner.

He is joined in his adventure by Annabelle Bransford (Foster), another con artist, and Marshal Zane Cooper (Garner), a lawman. The supporting cast features Graham Greene, James Coburn, and Alfred Molina, and many cameo appearances by Western film actors, country music stars, and other actors.
