The Old Way is a 2023 American Western film directed by Brett Donowho, from a screenplay by Carl W. Lucas, and starring Nicolas Cage as a gunman set on a mission to find a vengeful gunslinger after he killed his wife.

The film was theatrically released by Saban Films on January 6, 2023 and received mixed reviews by critics.

Once a notorious gunfighter, Colton Briggs buries his past when he marries and starts a family. Years later, Briggs suffers a personal tragedy when the outlaw son of a man he killed returns to exact revenge, resulting in the death of his wife. Accompanied by his daughter, Briggs sets out to find his wife's killer and avenge her.

Filming occurred in Montana. In October 2021, the film's crew members complained about property key assistant and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's handling of firearms, including an incident in which she discharged a weapon without warning and caused lead actor Nicolas Cage to walk off set. Gutierrez-Reed would later work as armorer on the set of Rust, and be a principal character in the shooting incident that killed Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza. In January 2022, Saban Films acquired the film's distribution rights.
