Robert Wise directs Robert Mitchum in one of his best westerns. Mitchum is drifting through Arizona when he almost gets run over in a stampede one night. He survives only to end up on the wrong side of a land dispute between ranchers over grazing pasture. He becomes a hired gun for an old friend trying to swindle some locals, but after realizing what's really happening he switches sides. Pretty Barbara Bel Geddes may have something to do with it as well, since her father is the main person being swindled. Dark, moody, and with one of the better bar fights you'll see between Mitchum and bad guy Robert Preston.
