THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES

As The Outlaw Josey Wales, Clint Eastwood is ideally cast as a hard-hitting, fast-drawing loner, recalling his "Man with No Name"; from his European Westerns. But unlike that other mythical outlaw, Josey Wales has a name - and a heart. After avenging his family's brutal murder, Wales is on the run, pursued by a pack of killers. He travels alone, but a ragtag group of outcasts (including Sondra Locke and Chief Dan George) is drawn to him - and Wales can't leave his motley surrogate family unprotected. Time called it one of 1976's best movies. Over time, The Outlaw Josey Wales has secured a place as one of top westerns ever.
