About Gunning for Justice
Three fellows band together to help a woman find her uncle's cache of gold in this western. All they have to help them is a tattered map that her uncle, a prisoner of war, created in camp. Unfortunately two badguys have the map and try to turn the three goodguys against the niece. They do not succeed and justice prevails.
Directed by Ray Taylor, Gunning for Justice leans on a strong ensemble — Johnny Mack Brown, Raymond Hatton, Max Terhune — 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 1948.
