Tentang film ini

Henry Fonda and Henry Morgan star in this 1943 Best Picture Oscar® Nominee about justice -- and injustice -- on the wild frontier. Two men (Fonda and Morgan) who ride into a town plagued by cattle rustling are recruited into a posse that aims to lynch three potentially innocent men accused of the crimes. It's soon clear that vengeance could prevail as rationality faces off against mob mentality.

Anyone who gives this film anything less than 5 stars, is an idiot. A MUST SEE MOVIE! A posse rides out to catch whom they believe killed a fellow rancher become judge and jury and all but three men, (with a conscience ), after learning those they hung were innocent, have to deal with what crime they committed. A western Crime and Punishment. .

There are very few films that can do what this one does. It puts meaning to the word justice, but not in a good way. There is no grey area here. Everything and everyone is either black or white. Everyone watching it knows the difference and what is the right thing to do. This is one of those films, too, that has one of those speeches in it. A soliloquy, if you will. Henry Fonda delivers it and does it well! This is truly a classic in every sense of the word! you will be spending your time wisely! Fonda also has another one of those speeches in Grapes of Wrath! Come to think of it, he does it quite a bit!

One of the greatest films ever made.
