Pale Rider
Pale Rider is a 1985 American western film produced and directed by Clint Eastwood, who also stars in the lead role. The title is a reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as the rider of a pale horse is Death.
Megans mother, Sarah, is keeping company with Hull Barret, the leader of the miners. Hull heads off into town to pick up supplies, where the same thugs start to beat him up and he is rescued by the stranger, who takes the men on singlehandedly. Hull invites him to his house, and while Eastwoods character is washing, Hull notices what looks like six bullet wounds to his back. Shortly after, he appears wearing a clerical collar and thereafter is called Preacher.Coy LaHoods son Josh attempts to scare Preacher with a show of strength from his giant work hand, Club, who with one hammer blow smashes a large rock that Preacher and Hull had been laboring over. When Club attempts to attack Preacher, he hits him in the face with his hammer and delivers a blow to Clubs groin. Coy LaHood has been away in Sacramento and is furious to learn about Preachers arrival through his son, since this will stiffen the resistance of the tinpanners. Having failed to bribe him to settle in the town instead, LaHood offers to buy the miners out, initially for 100, then 125 and then the Preacher goads him into raising his offer to 1,000 per claim, but only if they leave withinhours otherwise LaHood threatens to hire a corrupt Marshal named Stockburn to clear them out. ........
