Hired to protect a small mining town in Utah, gunslinger Clay Blaisedell (Henry Fonda) and his devoted follower, Tom Morgan (Anthony Quinn), partake in numerous liberties afforded by their position of power. While Blaisedell and Morgan match the violence of the outlaws they fight, the local inhabitants desire more peaceful resolutions to the crime problem.

Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine Oct 28, 2019

Kylo R Jun 17, 2018 Classic cowboys vs. the Town. Good character development in the Widmark character.
Luke P May 12, 2018 Despite its ambitious plot, it falls short in delivery. Strong cast but overly dramatic.
Abraham G May 6, 2018 Henry Fonda ; Quinn; and Widmark at their finest; great western....
Rey P Apr 15, 2017 Quote: Judge Holloway: "Wrong, wrong, wrong! We're using anarchy and murder to prevent anarchy and murder!"
