Hombre (1967)

Hombre is a 1967 American Revisionist Western film directed by Martin Ritt and starring Paul Newman, Fredric March, Richard Boone, and Diane Cilento, based on Elmore Leonard's 1961 novel of the same name. Newman has very little language throughout the picture, and most of the character is represented via his actions and mannerisms. Ritt directed Newman for the sixth and last time.

With this adventure picture based on Elmore Leonard's novel, Newman makes another breakthrough in the Western genre. Newman portrays John Russell, a man reared by Native Americans who is an outsider in the white town of Hombre. He is the only one who can save a stagecoach full of strangers when they are assaulted by bandits. Newman was a dashing and passionate hero, and the film's smart scripting set it apart from others in the category. It was one of the Westerns that helped usher in a new era of Western revisionism.
