Hombre

In Sam Peckinpah's "Hombre" (1967), John Russell plays Paul Fisher, a man of mixed heritage who faces prejudice from his fellow stagecoach passengers despite his genteel demeanor. When outlaws ambush the coach, Fisher's survival skills, honed from his upbringing among Native Americans, become the group's only hope. Peckinpah's stark, unforgiving vision cuts through the hypocrisy and fear that define the passengers' attitudes towards Fisher, revealing the brutal reality of a world where prejudice and violence are inseparable.
