John Russell (Paul Newman), a white man raised by a band of Arizona Apaches, is forced to confront the society he despises when he sells the boarding house his father has left him. While leaving town by stagecoach, several bigoted passengers insist he ride outside with the driver (Martin Balsam). But when outlaws leave them all stranded in the desert, Russell may be their only hope for survival!

Wendy Ide

The performances are universally strong, the writing spare and muscular and the photography arresting.

Strikes a not very satisfactory balance between traditionalist themes... and interludes for reflection on race prejudice and so on.

As a Western, Hombre offers enough excitement to stand up with the best of them. As a motion picture with sure-handed direction, a literate script and excellent acting it also offers something for all audiences, Western fans or not.

"...depicts the American West as a collision of codes."

Martin Ritt's movie set a new trend in American Westerns in its criticism of the White men and in suggesting that the Native Americans are morally superior.
