The Gunfighter | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

"The Gunfighter" is an early example of a new style of dark, nihilistic westerns, which examined the deeper mythology of the outlaw. The infamous Ringo returns to his hometown to reclaim a sense of morality and calm.

It's expertly assembled classic western fodder, and the template for every elegiac "retired killer" movie to come - from Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven to Hugh Jackman in Logan.

A seminal Western superbly directed with restraint by Henry King.

Good movie about the consequences of our choices.

Gregory Peck is in top form as Johnny Ringo in Henry Koster's brooding psychological Western about a doomed gunslinger who wants to lay the guns down.
