About The Naked Spur (Theatrical Release - February 1, 1953):
"Plain arithmetic. Money splits better two ways instead of three," smooth-talking outlaw Ben Vandergroat reasons to his captors, three bounty hunters thrown together by chance.

They're taking him to justice in Abilene, but Ben has other ideas. If he can set the men against each other and play on their greed, their fears, their vanities, he may be able to make his break to freedom.

In the third of his five landmark Anthony Mann-directed westerns, James Stewart stars as the relentless leader of bounty hunters caught in the snare of the hunted (Robert Ryan). Tough, sweating with tension, and towering as tall as its breathtaking Colorado Rockies setting, The Naked Spur is simply "one of the best Westerns ever made"(Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide).
