Among the Dust of Thieves is a 2013 American drama film about the 1896 disappearance of Albert Jennings Fountain, directed by Sean Pilcher. The film dramatizes the days leading up to Fountains disappearance near White Sands, New Mexico and the first, unsuccessful investigation of his apparent murder by John C. Fraser of the Pinkerton Agency. The film strongly suggests that Fountains disappearance was directly linked to his prosecution of Oliver M. Lee for cattle rustling. The narrative switches from Fountains investigation and arrest of Lee culminating in Fountains disappearance, to Frasers investigation, which concludes after a shootout at Lees ranch.
