Hang 'Em High (1968)
Hang ‘Em High (1968) is an American revisionist Western film directed by Ted Post. In the Oklahoma Territory of 1889, retired lawman Jed Cooper finds himself surrounded by a posse of nine men: Captain Wilson, Reno, Miller, Jenkins, Stone, Maddow, Tommy, Loomis, and Charlie Blackfoot. They demand proof of purchase for the cattle that Cooper is driving. The seller of the cattle is a notorious robber who is also responsible for killing the rancher. Despite Cooper’s protests that he had no involvement in the murder, only Jenkins expresses skepticism about his guilt. While retrieving a prisoner, Cooper notices his horse and saddle outside a nearby saloon. Upon entering, he spots Reno and attempts to apprehend him. However, Reno retaliates by engaging in a gunfight with Cooper, who is left with no choice but to fatally shoot him.
After hearing of Reno’s death at the hands of a marshal with a distinctive scar, Jenkins willingly turns himself in and reveals the identities of the other members of the posse. In Red Creek, Cooper apprehends Stone and enlists the help of local sheriff Ray Calhoun to incarcerate him. Despite most of the men being well-respected members of Red Creek, Calhoun still executes Cooper’s warrants for their arrest. On their way to detain the remaining men, Cooper and Calhoun come across a scene where two individuals have been murdered and their herd rustled. They form their own posse and track down the culprits – Miller along with two teenage brothers named Ben and Billy Joe.
