Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, this 1985 Western pays homage to the 1953 classic Shane. The story follows a mysterious, unnamed man known only as "The Preacher" who rides into a small gold-mining encampment that is being terrorized by a ruthless corporate mining baron. Answering the prayers of a young girl, the Preacher becomes the protector of the innocent miners, using his deadly gunslinging skills to deliver them from their oppressors. The film was a critical and commercial success, praised for its atmospheric style and for revitalizing the Western genre in the 1980s.
Interesting Tidbit: The film's title, Pale Rider, is a direct reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation 6:8: "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him." This biblical allusion reinforces the supernatural, almost ghostly quality of Clint Eastwood's character, suggesting he may be a spirit of vengeance or even Death itself, sent to deliver judgment.
