Sinopsis(1)
When Sabbath town-boss Vincent Bronson (Cobb) and his drunken ranch hands unwittingly kill an old man in Bannack, everyone knows it was an accident. Everyone, that is, except Bannack's marshal, Jered Maddox (Lancaster). A tough, no-nonsense manof the law, Maddox is determined to bring the killers to justice. Trailing them back to Sabbath, Maddox makes his intentions clear: "I'm gonna take these men back with me," he vows, "or kill them where they stand." So when Bronson sends word that he wants to make a deal, the inflexible Maddox refuses, a decision that forces Bronson's men to let their guns do the talking. But Jered Maddox is not aman to back down...he'll bring these desperate killers back to Bannack, his way. Dead or alive. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

The rumours that this is very much Last Train from Gun Hill in a much dirtier, grittier and grey rendition don't lie. There are no good or bad characters, there’s perhaps only one who slides into that because of his hot-headedness. Otherwise, it honestly sticks sympathetically to the last moments in the grey area of "where justice begins/ends and where/when excessive to fanatically blind adherence to the letter tips over into creating bad blood with repercussions far beyond the original act". It is the spiral of actions and consequences that draws in more and more characters who had nothing to do with the original unrest. And it's all delivered through well-written dialogue rather than gunfights. There are gunfights, but when they happen, they stay within the boundaries of believable duels that neither side really wants to get into. But it's still primarily a western, where a bullet often whistles, not a psychological study, but still a bloody good western.
