Overview
All the gold in a small Colorado town has been panned, save for a bit on land belonging to the Ute. Greedy Frank Walker rounds up the locals and makes plans to raid the territory, but even-tempered settler Sam Brannon tries to dissuade Walker. As the battle nears, Sam's conflicted son, Gary, is torn between his belief in his father's morality and his hatred of the Utes, who killed his mother.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A pulpy 1950s Western that tackles racial conflict between white settlers and the Ute people during a gold rush, with a bigoted protagonist forced into an unlikely peacekeeping position. Despite its exploitation-era premise, it moves with propulsive energy and carries a surprising moral weight.
