A great movie that works as a re-imagining of "Stagecoach" but with a social conscience. It's made better by the fact that the characters are not completely black or white stock types. Except for the villain (played by Richard Boone) who is a bit more crude and vicious than what is typical for the genre. Paul Newman is excellent as the coolheaded protagonist and aided by a good cast.
