Hang 'Em High

CriticsCritics: 77
AudienceAudience: 7.1

After surviving a lynching by a group of vigilantes, a man returns to work as a lawman and sets out to bring those responsible to justice. As he pursues them, he must weigh his desire for revenge against the demands of the legal system in a harsh, lawless territory.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like classic Westerns that explore the tension between revenge and lawful justice, with a tough lawman at the center; Not for you if you want brisk pacing throughout.
