This is a really fast movie, takes course in a day and had me wondering what is around the corner since the beginning. I’ve never seen a western until a year ago and now they all seduce me so easily. There’s always a hero, a damsel, some shooting and a lot of anticipation and buildup.
Story starts off with a boy and his Indian mother in a carriage headed to visit family. Two men ride up beside them and start causing trouble, and eventually get their way with the boy’s mother. They boy, left to witness, rides home to get help but he’s too late. His father, US Marshal Morgan, by reading the inscription on one of the horses’ saddles knows where the killer came from and heads over to Gun Hill. He finds out the killer is his best friends son and his friend, Belden won’t let him take his son away.
The whole town is under Belden’s hands, they abide his every rule and hide his secrets. They wait for Morgan’s death, they think he’s just being stubborn and should die for going against Belden. The odds are against Belden; No one is willing to lend him a helping hand, he’s in unknown territory with an assignment only a dead man could carry on.
