Plot
A retired gunman, trying to raise his motherless children on a scratchy old farm is approached for 'one last job' and the promise of a cash bounty. Will this job claim more than just his empty promises of reformation...

Verdict
Ironically, the ultimate Western of all was made decades after its hayday. This is captivating for all, not just fans of the genre.
