Horizons West
LAWLESS RUTHLESS DEFIANCE!
Directed by Budd Boetticher
Produced by Universal International Pictures
A post-Civil War Western centered on the moral fracture between two brothers—one ambitious and corrupt, the other upholding the law—culminating in a tragic confrontation between ambition and duty.
Brothers Dan and Neil Hammond return to Texas after the Civil War. Ambitious Dan turns to rustling and then shady land deals to build an empire. Being held for a murder, he is rescued from a lynch mob by Neil, who is now the Marshal, but there is eventually a falling out between the brothers, good triumphing over evil.
