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 partnership that worked brilliantly and still does today. A great western thriller about how people aren't as they seem, which is nothing new, but in this rendition, it's just done well. Stewart has a great role, but here, other characters are also brilliantly written, and it works well with them.
