high plains drifter (1973)

"It's what people know about themselves inside that makes 'em afraid."
A nameless man (Clint Eastwood) wanders into a small. distinctly hostile western town. After seeing off three gunmen, the towns folk decide he may be the man to help them defeat a gang of outlaws they know are coming to exact revenge. The stranger finds out that they have just been released having whipped the town's sheriff to death, whilst the towns people stood by, seemingly unconcerned for the fate of their lawman. Will the stranger stay and defend the town?

A ghost/revenge story with a difference, with Eastwood reveling in the chaos the stranger brings to the town as he drags it quite literally to hell.
