An evil corporation tries to pressure a bunch of Arkansas farmers and ranchers to sell their land so they can strip-mine it for coal. The fiercely proud and stubborn Hunter family refuse to give in.
Sinekatalog’s take
A lean revenge drama about a stubborn farming family standing against a mining company. Rough, direct and driven by anger over land. A decent choice for fans of seventies rural action.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
