Stranger on the Run

Directed by Don Siegel

Starring Henry Fonda, Anne Baxter

Before he finished with this town, every gunslinger would know he was a man.

A drifter finds himself wrongly accused of murder by a power-crazed sheriff. The sheriff gives him a horse, some supplies, and a one-hour head start into the desert before sending his murderous posse after him.
