The Netflix R-Rated Dark Western Turns A Hero Into A Monster

In High Plains Drifter, Eastwood stars as a character known as The Stranger – a mysterious wandering man who goes from town to town, showing off his skills with a gun.

After arriving in a tiny town called Lago, The Stranger finds himself pushed to the edge of society, with the locals not really knowing what to make of him – that is, until they discover his shooting abilities.

With a group of criminals harassing the townsfolk, they ask The Stranger to step in and help get rid of the bandits, something he obliges to, holding some secrets of his own.
