Estamos na época do desbravamento do Oeste, dos grandes rebanhos de gado que cortam cidades, dos homens armados dispostos a matar para se defender ou pelo simples prazer de matar! Ben Justin (Charles Bronson) é um desses rancheiros: amargurado, temperamental e desconfiado. Vive em confronto com seus vizinhos que fazem parte de uma associação liderada por homens poderosos. Mas, ele está preparado para lutar e defender sua família. Em sua fazenda, o ódio e a vontade de vencer povoam sua mente a todo instante. Tiros, pancadaria, traições, ambição e muito arame farpado fazem deste filme um dos mais explosivos do gênero.
