Eastwood's innocent cowboy miraculously survives his own hanging and then treks across the frontier to bring his hangmen to justice. Highly entertaining, featuring cameos by Bruce Dern, Dennis Hopper, and cowboy veteran Bob Steele as a dungeon prisoner. [More]

Reviews for Hang 'Em High
Ted Post's direction is especially adroit at keeping the baroque flurries bubbling under the deceptive surface of old-pro craftsmanship
Though not high-minded debate, Hang 'Em certainly counts as a solid victory lap
Move over squeaky clean John Wayne, a new darker western hero by the name of Clint Eastwood has arrived to challenge your title as top cowboy star!
