About Ride Lonesome
On the way to pick up the bounty on a wanted murderer, a bounty hunter stops at a staging post where he is forced to continue his journey with two outlaws who want the murderer for their own reasons and a recently-widowed woman, with the murderer's brother and his men in hot pursuit.
Directed by Budd Boetticher, Ride Lonesome leans on a strong ensemble — Randolph Scott, Karen Steele, Pernell Roberts — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1959.
