Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Pale Rider


Members of a small mining camp mine for gold in a small creek. They are constantly under attack from the henchmen of a greedy land barron who wants that land for himself. He tries everything to run them out, including wrecking their homes and damming up the creek, but most of the miners won't budge. A stranger, who turns out to be a preacher, rides into camp and helps them fend off the barron. When one of the miners is killed for no reason by 7 hired gunmen, the preacher takes off his collar, straps on his guns and goes looking for revenge. He kills the gunmen one by one and one of the miners kills the barron. Without another word the preacher rides off into the hills.

The review of this Movie prepared by Brandon Swenson




This vintage western stars Clint Eatwood in his signature role of the "anonymous gunman". A gold mining camp in California is under threat from a neighbouring landowner, who with tacit support from local lawmakers, torments the miners. Help comes from unexpected quarters, when a preacher rides into town who is good with a gun.
