The '''Western''' is a [[genre]] of fiction. Westerns tell stories that are set mostly in the second half of the 19th century in the [[American Old West]], hence the name. There are also stories about Western-type characters set in other times. These include ''[[Junior Bonner]]'' (set in the 1970s) and ''[[The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada]]'' (set in the 21st century).
The genre has been popular since the beginning of the movie industry. One of the very first commercial movies was the 1903 silent western, ''[[The Great Train Robbery]]''.
