Hang 'Em High

DramaWestern114 min

After being falsely accused of cattle theft and left hanging by a mob, Clint Eastwood is Jed Cooper, a former lawman who survives and takes a badge again to track down the nine men who tried to kill him. Pat Hingle’s federal judge puts Cooper to work as a deputy U.S. marshal, turning his revenge mission into a test of frontier justice. Along the way, a widow played by Inger Stevens offers a measure of sympathy in a story shaped by lynching, prison cells, and the question of who gets to decide guilt in the Old West.
