Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and western fans. The walls close in, and so does the tension. A good follow-up to El Dorado or The Harder They Fall.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Never drags, at 1 hr 8 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Made in 1953: an older pace and style.

Ed Ryan is a Texas ranger who goes undercover to trap a criminal gang headed by Luke Andrews. Posing as the wanted killer Robert Larkin, Ed is able to move freely amongst the town riffraff. Marshal Bullock learns that the brains behind the gang of Luke Andrews is a group of supposed respectable businessmen.
