In this dark, violent film—a primal morality tale in the form of a classic Western —a prostitute, angered by the release of a sadistic cowhand who has mutilated the face of another working girl, raises $1,000 as a reward for anyone who will avenge this atrocity. Nominated for nine Academy Awards and winner of four, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor (Hackman). "The film deals with violence and its consequences a lot more than those I've done before. In the past, there were a lot of people killed gratuitously in my pictures, and what I liked about this story was that people aren't killed, and acts of violence aren't perpetrated, without there being certain consequences. That's a problem I thought was important to talk about today, it takes on proportions it didn't have in the past, even if it's always been present through the ages."—Clint Eastwood.
