In between the two images is the title, its font is a old and rustic style which also suits the theme or the wild west. On the back cover there are multiple images; some of the scene in the movie is displayed along side each other also another image is used as a background. Important text is clearly shown no the back, this text is about the plot of the movie, above this plot is positive review on the movie to entice people into buying the film and watching it.
