- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of action fans and western fans. Made for the biggest screen and the loudest speakers you have. A good follow-up to Silverado.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Moves at a clip, at 1 hr 19 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1956: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
During a ride with his new pony Sinoya, the young Clay Gibson by chance finds the secret housing of the multiple murderer Tris Hatten. He reports immediately to Sheriff Adams, who strongly recommends him not to tell anybody about it. Unfortunately Clay talks to his father nevertheless. He believes Adams just wanted fame and reward for himself and accuses him in the newspaper. Thereby he endangers his son, who's now targeted by a killer which Tris' girlfriend Winnie hired for revenge. Written by Tom Zoerner
