McAdam [James Stewart] enters a shooting competition and wins a sweet Winchester rifle. Too bad he doesn’t even get to engrave his name on it, next thing he knows he’s beaten to the floor and the rifle’s stolen.
[I love movies where different stories intertwine, or when just a bunch of stories/people surround one thing.] And this is one of those, we follow the rifle through many hands. Sometimes people don’t survive the next person who gets it or end up in a very troublesome position.
McAdam is searching for the man who stole his rifle, happens to be the same guy he’s been on the trail of for a while now. What he doesn’t know is that the rifle is switching owners all around him and causing a whole lot of trouble.
Surely a great classic western, with a twist I won’t dare ruin. But my favorite aspect of this movie is really the fact that the rifle sort of plays a main character, might as well be the antagonist.
