Hang 'Em High is the first western Clint Eastwood made outside of Italy.
Back Cover Synopsis[]
Eastwood is Judge, Jury and Executioner!
They riddled him with bullets. They strung him up. They left him to die. But they made two fatal mistakes: they hanged the wrong man...and they didn't finish the job. In his first American-made western, Clint Eastwood indelibly carves his niche as the quintessential tough guy - cool-headed, iron-willed and unrelenting in his pursuit of revenge.
Oklahoma, 1873. Jed Cooper (Eastwood), mistaken for a rustler and killer, is lynched on the spot by crooked lawman Captain Wilson (Ed Begley) and a rampaging band of vigilantes. But as Wilson and his gang flee the scene, there's one very important detail they've overlooked: Cooper is still alive! Saved in the nick of time by a sheriff, Cooper takes on the job of deputy marshal in order to bring hard-handed justice to the Oklahoma territory...and to the nine men who "done him wrong."
Co-starring Inger Stevens as a beautiful widow, Pat Hingle as an unforgiving judge and veteran film cowboy Bob Steele as an aging prison inmate, Hang 'Em High is "as savage as it is well-made" (Los Angeles Times) - an action-packed, pulse-pounding western adventure!
