Kirk Douglas produced, directed, and stars in this revisionist western about sly, politically ambitious U.S. marshal Howard Nightingale, who goes after notorious train robber Jack Strawhorn (Bruce Dern) in order to win favor with the townsfolk. Nightingale soon learns that Strawhorn is a lick more clever than he thought...and when he winds up kidnapped by Strawhorn, the marshal’s posse must raise funds--legally or otherwise--to free him. Bo Hopkins, James Stacy co-star. 92 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital mono.
