Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and western fans. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Fans of The Harder They Fall or Silverado should feel right at home.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 41 min.
What might put you off
Made in 1958: an older pace and style.

A convicted bank robber, serving his sentence and yearning for freedom, becomes entangled with a psychotic, homicidal inmate. This inmate turns on him, terrorizing his wife and murdering his friends.
