Jim Slater's father (whom he never knew) died in the Apache ambush at Gila Valley, and Jim is searching for the one survivor, who supposedly went for help but disappeared with a lot of gold. In the process, he gets several people gunning for him, and he keeps meeting liberated woman Karyl Orton, who may be on a similar mission. Renewed Apache hostilities and an impending range war provide complications.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Backlash' is a Western set around themes of revenge, gold, and frontier conflict (Apache hostilities, range war). There is no indication in the provided plot summary or genre that Christmas plays any role in the setting, plot, themes, or resolution."
