Comment/Synopsis

Charles Bronson is a mixed race white/Indian who kills a sherif in self defence and then is chased into the desert by a posse led by Jack Palance. This is a good variation of the revenge westen as the hunters become the hunted as they travel deep into Indian territory. This is less about the action and more about the characters and their motives but avoides falling into a morality tale.
