Drifter Cole Harden is accused of stealing a horse and faces hanging by self-appointed Judge Roy Bean, but Harden manages to talk his way out of it by claiming to be a friend of stage star Lillie Langtry, with whom the judge is obsessed, even though he has never met her. Tensions rise when Harden comes to the defense of a group of struggling homesteaders who Judge Bean is trying to drive away.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'The Westerner' is a classic Western focused on justice, lawlessness, and romance in the Old West. There are absolutely no indicators across any of the five required criteria (Setting, Plot Centrality, Themes, Iconography, or Resolution) that suggest a connection to the Christmas holiday."
