Short description

When vigilante land baron David Braxton hangs one of the best friends of cattle rustler Tom Logan, Logan's gang decides to get even by purchasing a small farm next to Braxton's ranch. From there the rustlers begin stealing horses, using the farm as a front for their operation. Determined to stop the thefts at any cost, Braxton retains the services of eccentric sharpshooter Robert E. Lee Clayton, who begins ruthlessly taking down Logan's gang.

What's left behind the scenes

  • In this film, Marlon Brando (1924-2004) largely improvised with the permission of director Arthur Penn (1922-2010).
  • Jack Nicholson strongly disliked that Brando looked at cue cards with his lines during filming. Every time Brando glanced at the card behind the camera operator, Nicholson would lose his train of thought.
