Another Audie Murphy Western from 1961. A group of men ride into a town & proceed to rob & kill w/o abandon w/the sheriff being one of the victims & a woman kidnapped (& raped repeatedly). Enter Murphy, a newly hired deputy, thrust into a situation where a posse has to be formed to go after the killers. Murphy is not too pleased w/the motley crew assembled (the uncle of the kidnapped girl, a former military man, a bank representative sent along to recover the money, et al) but he's a professional & along w/an expert tracker, they stay within killing distance of the murderous pack. After a time, the posse members are killed off or leave so Murphy soon comes to the realization he'll have to overcome his own hang-ups to get the job done which works well since the prey they're after is more metaphoric than anything finally. W/a supporting cast consisting of John Saxon, Frank Overton, Royal Dano, Lee Van Cleef & Vic Morrow (Jennifer Jason Leigh's dad) as the head of the killing crew.
