Yellow Sky
It was as if the YELLOW SKY had sought them out... where fate had forgotten them and life had left them behind!
Directed by William A. Wellman
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A classic Western about outlaws stranded in a forsaken desert town, where isolation and desperation force an uneasy reckoning between criminals and the few souls left behind by civilization.
In 1867, a gang robs a bank and flees into the desert. Out of water, the outlaws encounter a ghost town called Yellow Sky and its only residents, a hostile young woman and her grandfather.
