Plot:
Amid shoot-outs and existentialism, a mysterious stranger (Clint Eastwood, who also directs) is hired to protect a small town from outlaws. But his recipe for defense could be a deal with the devil, a...( read more

ole clint will always be the tough gunslinger for all time.you gotta believe me or you can just( GO AHEAD MAKE MY DAY!).
Clint Eastwood stars in and directs High Plains Drifter and i think it is the best western movie ever made.
One of my all time favorite movies. Really makes you think. Not to mention you want all the townspeople to die. LOL!
The very best of the "Man With No Name" series and much better than the Oscar winner, "Unforgiven".
Many are still asking, "Who are you?!"
Clint Eastwood stars in and directs this obvious homage to Sergio Leone as he resurrects the man with no name character, as an enigmatic gunslinger rides into the town of Lago and promptly kills the gunmen hired by the townsfolk to protect them against a trio of vengeful outlaws. They offer him the run of the town to replace them, but it soon emerges that he has a hidden agenda of his own. Another fine western from Clint, and laced with a healthy dose of the supernatural, this film is unusual in it's complete absence of a "good guy". The morality is not even grey; virtually every character is a self centred immoral hypocrite! Clint himself hasn't the slightest interest in justice, just bloody retribution which he gets in a great climax which sees him shooting it out in the blood red painted, flaming wreckage of the town. Stylish, gritty and an obvious inspiration for fantasy revenge flicks such as The Crow and Eastwood's own Pale Rider.
This movie was all kinds of awesomeness, Clint is such a fucking badass. Clint rapes a woman and she likes it, then he makes a midget named Mordecai the mayor and sheriff, and then paints the town red and renames it HELL.
A violent western directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, very much in the style of the spaghetti western.
I guess I just didn't "get" it. Sure, there were some good visuals, and Clint is as Clint is, but I found myself wanting it to end.
A dark, cruel supernatural western...There will be no one like Clint Eastwood again the western movie industry!he's a genious!
I love Clint Eastwood otherwise I would not have watched this movie, but some of his movies weren't up to par.
I love this one, one of my fav's. How one stranger rides into a little town and starts all kinds of trouble by how he helps them out. Love it. Paint the town red and invite the bad guys to a party...that's so Eastwood...
Synopsis: Clint Eastwood's second film as a director (and his first Western) is a variation on the "man with no name" theme, starring Eastwood as the drifter known only as "the Stranger." He rides into the desert town of Lagos and is quickly attacked by three ...
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Verna Bloom, Marianna Hill, Mitch Ryan, Jack Ging
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
The message of this film was a bit weak for me: "Selfish, cowarly town get's treated bad by the reincarnation of the man they left to die". Still, it's Clint...so enjoy!
This is one of the great Westerns ever made. Clint is amazing and out for revenge. Paint the town Red!!
This is the best western ever made, it has the best lead actor of any western, and a superb story line, based on revenge, from an unknown/ghost figure, with some of the most classic scenes! What else could you ask for?
An homage of sorts to Eastwood's Spaghetti Western days. Story is about a mysterious ghost-like stranger who is hired to fight against a group of felons that infest a small town. Beautiful widescreen photographic compositions.
Enjoyable for the spaghetti western fans (even though this isn't italian directed). others might not enjoy it as much.
many consider this to be eastwoods fourth film as the infamous "man with no name". this is the first film that he did with this sort of character that was not directed by sergio leone, and there are enough differences between the man with no name from leones trilogy and eastwoods character in this film to believe that the character is similar, but not the same. eastwood directed this film, and in it a few of the "man with no name's" trademarks are missing and the explination for this character is probably ore supernatural. pay attention to the final 2 minutes of the film, and you will see that eastwood is actually probably playing a ghost in this film. it was a decent film but there really was no character that you could root for. even as the hero, eastwood was more of an antihero with some terrible characterisitics, like a scene when he rapes a woman. this was a decent flick and worth a watch, but doesnt stand up to the man with no name trilogy that it is often compared to.
The stranger comes back again into an isolated, affected town whose peace and tranquility are disturbed by outsiders cowboyns and gunfighters, until Clint Eastwood came, only to get things solved in his way. Perhaps the most totally badass and son of a b!tch Eastwood I've ever seen. Good western overall.
85/100
More of a supernatural revenge story than a western, Clint just finished directing the horror flick, Play Misty For Me, before taking this on. He plays a ghost who kills people with the help of a midget.
Clint's most unusual western. Reportedly based on the Spaghetti Western "Django il bastardo". which I plan on seeing.
My first non-Leone western! It is surely not as great as the Leone's westerns, but it was quite good actually. The fact is that I was so much used to Leone's cinematography and also to Morricone tracks that I think I was waiting for them during the movie. But High Plains Drifter didn't reach the cleverness I was waiting for. Eastwood is 'The Stranger', as always, and he kills everybody, no surprise... But I didn't really liked his character, and that's a surprise. He is bad, vicious and drunk. But there are some interesting ideas in the movie.
