In this haunting tale set in Gold Rush-era California, a preacher man with no name mysteriously appears astride a white horse to defend a small community of prospectors against a greedy mining company. “Much like his allegorical protagonist in Pale Rider, director/star Eastwood rode to the rescue when the Hollywood Western genre was at its lowest ebb… After Heaven’s Gate, the major studios wanted nothing to do with sagebrush sagas, but Eastwood, having known nothing but success with oaters, went into the production of Pale Rider regarding the project as a safe gamble. ‘It’s not possible,’ Eastwood remarked in an 1984 interview, ‘that Josey Wales could be the last Western to be a commercial success. You can still talk about sweat and hard work, about the spirit, about love for the land and ecology in the Western, in the classic mythological form.’”—Turner Classic Movies.
