(0 reviews)
This classic Western is a profoundly moving story of the influence of a singular character on one boy's life.
The Starrett family's life forever changes when a man named Shane rides out of the great glowing West and up to their farm.
Young Bob Starrett is entranced by this stoic stranger who brings a new energy to his family. Shane stays on as a farmhand, but his past remains a mystery. Many folks in their small Wyoming valley are suspicious of Shane and make it known that he is not welcome.
But dangerous as Shane may seem, he is a staunch friend to the Starretts--and when a powerful neighboring rancher tries to drive them out of their homestead, Shane becomes entangled in the deadly feud.
