Dir. Anthony Mann · Starring Henry Fonda, Anthony Perkins, Betsy Palmer, Michel Ray, Neville Brand, John McIntire · Music Elmer Bernstein

“For $40 a month and a shiny Tin Star…the young sheriff faced the mob alone…except for the angry ex-sheriff who couldn’t watch him die and a hero-worshipping boy who lived only for the day he’d wear a Tin Star of his own!”

Western

An experienced bounty hunter helps a young sheriff learn the meaning of his badge.

VIBE

A dusty, existential western where a hardened bounty hunter mentors a green sheriff. It's a slow burn about finding your moral compass in a lawless land, filled with quiet contemplation and the weight of hard choices.
