Overview

Set during the Alaskan gold rush of the late 1800s. In his efforts to gain control of a small mining town, Sean McLennon is buying up every claim that becomes available, usually after the deaths of the previous owners at the hands of McLennon's 'assistants'. One of the miners targeted by McLennon, a half-Indian hunter named Hudson Saanteek, manages to escape his hired thugs and comes back into town looking to re-establish his claim and get revenge. McLennon and his men have the advantage of numbers and weapons, but Saanteek has his survival skills and knowledge of the Alaskan wilderness.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A frontier revenge tale set against the brutal machinery of the gold rush, where a dispossessed man with wilderness cunning takes on a corrupt mining baron and his hired guns. It's a lean, determined action film with the weight of historical injustice bearing down on every confrontation.
