A complex Western that, through symbolic imagery, transcends the boundaries of the genre to deliver a powerful commentary on the tension between Native Americans and settlers, racial identity, and the pervasive nature of prejudice. The film is noted for Conrad L. Hall’s beautiful cinematography, which vividly captures the landscapes of the Wild West, as well as for the strong performances by Robert Redford and Robert Blake. It is also praised for its timeless anti-racist message. Unlike most Westerns, it features a parallel romantic plot that enhances the emotional depth of the characters. The film marked the dynamic comeback of Polonsky after 15 years on the Hollywood Blacklist, and remains a significant work thanks to its bold, liberal political stance and unique style. Winner of the BAFTA Awards for Best Actor (R. Redford) and Best Actress (K. Ross).
