In Clint Eastwood's acclaimed Western, Little Bill Daggett (Gene
Hackman), a sadistic, dictatorial sheriff, enforces gun control on a
tiny frontier town, doling out his own brand of due process as he sees
fit. When he denies justice to the prostitutes of the town brothel, one
of whom has been slashed by a client, the women hire Bill Munny
(Eastwood), a reformed gunslinger, to gain vengeance. However, Munny
must contend with his new moral code in the face of revisiting the life
he left behind. Eastwood's directorial masterpiece also stars Morgan
Freeman and Richard Harris.
