Three outsiders stumble into a high-stakes drug trade where greed and survival instinct override their initial moral hesitation, forcing them into increasingly violent confrontations with ruthless criminals.

6. Vengeance Valley (1951)
Oliver Stone's propulsive direction and the claustrophobic tension of watching protagonists resist external forces threatening their autonomy appears in this Western's portrait of competing interests colliding over control of a finite, coveted resource.
7. Song Of The Gringo (1936)
Oliver Stone's kinetic direction and morally compromised protagonists caught between criminal underworlds collide in this pulp Western where a lone operative infiltrates a murderous operation, only to become entangled in the very violence he meant to exploit.
