Plot

A band of scalphunters attack a Navajo village and in the ensuing slaughter, Navajo Joe's (Reynolds) woman is killed. Joe hunts down the gang and in the process uncovers a plot to rob a train. The people of the town reluctantly hire Joe to stop the robbery. The final showdown takes place in the burial ground of Joe's ancestors...--JONAH HEX 00:49, 3 November 2007 (CET)

Comment

Action packed and rather violent western, which unusually presents an Indian as the revenging hero. The film has its ill-conceived moments and scenes, but benefits from Corbucci's skillful directing of tough action scenes and a rousing score by Ennio Morricone. It was Moricone's first collaboration with Corbucci.
