WARNER HOME VIDEO Pale Rider - DVD

In Pale Rider, Clint Eastwood climbs back in the saddle after nine years - and Western films are once again celebrating their heyday. Here the star/director makes for a breathtaking film, following in the exciting tracks of Shane and High Noon. When mine owner Coy LaHood (Richard Drysart) starts a reign of terror to drive independent prospectors from the area, suddenly the stranger Preacher (Eastwood) shows up in the camp of the underdogs. He becomes their avenger. The tycoon then enlists the services of a sheriff/hire killer and his unsavory aides, men who prove their loyalty to whoever pays the most. LaHood pays with gold. But in an unforgettable shootout, Preacher pays with lead.
