Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for fans of newsroom stories and western fans. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story. A good follow-up to The Treasure of the Sierra Madre or True Grit. Dust, horses and a showdown waiting to happen.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Well paced, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1975: an older pace and style.

During the American Gold Rush era, an orphaned boy and his wild dog who must battle against the Yukon wilderness and human greed to help save a frontier town.
