Storyline
Most everyone in town thinks that Sheriff Calder is merely a puppet of rich oil-man Val Rogers. When it is learned that local baddie Bubber Reeves has escaped prison, Rogers' son is concerned because he is having an affair with Reeves' wife. It seems many others in town feel they may have reasons to fear Reeves. Calder's aim is to bring Reeves in alive, unharmed. Calder will have to oppose the powerful Rogers on one hand and mob violence on the other, in his quest for justice. Written by Buxx Banner <bux572@aol.com>

Trivia
Producer Sam Spiegel wanted Peter O'Toole, who had had to sign a seven-year contract with Spiegel to get the part of T.E. Lawrence in Spiegel's Oscar-winning Lawrence of Arabia, to play the part of Jake. O'Toole turned it down; he was furious that his contract with Spiegel prevented him from accepting the lead role in Lawrence of Arabia, director David Lean's production of Boris Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago, thought the screenplay was a "ghastly" "lifts-the-lid-of" potboiler akin to Grace Metalious' Peyton Place. James Fox was signed to the role after he proved he could play a Texas accent. See more »Goofs
When Bubber is climbing along the roof of the train, it is coming towards the viewer. He then swings down into an open door of a freight car on the right hand side of the screen. The next shots show Bubber with the open door in the background on the right hand of the screen but now the train is going away from the viewer. There is now a road running beside the train and there are orchards of trees that were not there before. See more »Quotes

Violent scenes, lack of racial tolerance, the ways high tries to oppress the low, the hypocrisy and adultery of rich people, all these are shown in the film. The cast had excellent actors, but Marlon Brando acted its best seconded again by a still then not yet famous Robert Duvall. Brando is the boss of local police whose complaints about the current injustice is never heard by the village's official authorities. Duvall was the typical coward, a man without any courage, able to discharge his misdoings over the others, always trying to climb no matter how, and, in addition, a perfect CORNUTO with his wife. Robert Redford was the bad guy of the film, but was he really bad? He probably was a product of the society where he grew and developed himself. Jane Fonda was more beautiful than ever, a good lover of two men, his husband (Redford), and his friend (James Fox), the son of the real owner of the village, E.G. Marshall. The veteran Miriam Hopkins acted as the Redford's mother, while attractive Angie Dickinson was Brando's wife. This film of Arthur Penn is, in my modest opinion, one of the best of all time, where truth and lies are sometimes mixed up. The end of the film is like a warning of what may happen where injustice prevails.
