High Noon - The Masters of Cinema Series

Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly star in this Western directed by Fred Zinnemann.

Marshall Will Kane (Cooper) is due to retire from his role as the sheriff of Hadleyville when word reaches him that Frank Miller (Ian MacDonald), a vengeful outlaw who Kane once sent to prison, is due to arrive on the noon train.

Kane's new bride Amy (Kelly) insists that he must leave immediately but Kane is too proud to run and refuses to be viewed as a coward.

As the appointed hour draws near and Miller's men wait for him at the station, Kane finds himself facing the feared outlaws alone as the rest of the townsfolk abandon him to ensure their own safety.

The cast also includes Lloyd Bridges, Katy Jurado and Lee Van Cleef.
