The Last Hard — Menhd

The 1976 Western film is a brutal, late-century revisionist tale that pits two legendary screen icons against each other in a grim landscape of transition and vengeance. Directed by Andrew V. McLaglen and based on the novel Gundown by Brian Garfield, the movie explores the violent friction between the fading "Old West" and the emerging 20th century. Plot Overview

Set in 1909 Arizona, the story begins with the violent escape of Zach Provo (James Coburn) and six other convicts from a Yuma Territorial Prison chain gang. Unlike typical fugitives, Provo isn't running for freedom; he is driven by a singular, obsessive desire for revenge against Sam Burgade (Charlton Heston), the retired lawman who captured him years earlier.
