Prequel to the popular "Dallas" TV series focuses on the origins of the Ewing-Barnes feud during the 1930s. Narrated by Larry Hagman as J.R. Ewing, the film begins at a 1951 barbecue where “Digger” Barnes fires a shot at Jock Ewing, then flashes back to the 1930s. Jock and Digger, initially friends bonded over their ambition to find oil, become rivals as they both vie for the affections of Miss Ellie.
