Summary:
A nameless stranger rides into the corrupt and explosive gold rush town of LaHood, California. His arrival coincides with the prayer of a young girl who is hoping for a miracle to end the sudden and random violence in the community. Fifteen-year-old Megan quietly recites from the bible: "And I looked, and beheld a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him." A story of confrontation in a lawless time, the nameless stranger becomes a catalyst for hope and retribution. A struggle between ruthless corporation gunmen and innocent independent miners takes a new meaning with the appearance of an enigmatic horseman. Clint Eastwood is the Pale Rider.
