When Doc West (Terence Hill), a stranger with a mysterious past, arrives in town and winds up in jail after a poker game goes sour, Sheriff Basehart (Paul Sorvino) decides to ask for his help in fighting the vicious local rancher whose gunmen threaten to overrun the community. Filmed in the rocky desert landscapes of New Mexico, this earnest gun-slinging drama pays tribute to the themes and characters of the classic Hollywood Western.
