Movie Info

Ben Stride (Randolph Scott, in a role originally slated for John Wayne) trudges stoically through the West, hunting down the seven men responsible for the murder of his wife in a Wells Fargo station holdup. As the film opens, we see him dispatching two of the miscreants during a driving rainstorm.

It deserves to be viewed, as one of the greatest Westerns -- possibly one of the greatest films -- ever made.
