Stewart departs from his well-loved "ordinary hero" role and gives a riveting performance as a resolute vigilante obsessed with finding the man responsible for his brother's death. Among the suspects are an arrogant cattle baro, his sadistic son and his ranch foreman. One explosive confrontation, in which Stewart is dragged by a wild horse and shot in the hand at close range, is one of movie history's most memorable sequences. (official distributor synopsis)

Anthony Mann and James Stewart are a pairing that worked and still works great today. A superb western thriller about how people are not what they seem, which is not something new, but in this execution, it is simply good. Stewart has a great role, but here, other characters are also excellently written, with whom it works well.
