Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for 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
Wastes no time getting going, at 1 hr 2 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1936: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.

In his film debut Ritter is sent to investigate miners being killed and their mines confiscated. The culprit is Evans and after Tex joins the gang, he is sent to kill two more miners. When Estaban is killed, Tex is put on trial for all three murders.
