Synopsis
 
This infamously violent British Western stars Gene Hackman
as Brandt Ruger, a wealthy rancher who goes away on a hunting
trip with a group of friends. While he's gone, a thug named Frank
Calder (Oliver Reed) kidnaps Melissa (Candice Bergen), Brandt's
wife, under the mistaken impression that she's a schoolteacher
and will be able to teach him to read. Despite being taken against
her will, in time Melissa begins to develop feelings for Calder, who
in his way cares for her more than her husband, who treats her like
a possession. Melissa has fallen in love with Calder by the time
Brandt returns. However, Brandt is enraged over the abduction of
his wife, and sets out on a new hunting trip, with Calder and his
men as his prey. Noted character actors G.D. Spradlin and L.Q.
Jones round out the supporting cast. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
