Overview
On the outskirts of town, the hard-nosed Vienna owns a saloon frequented by the undesirables of the region, including Dancin' Kid and his gang. Another patron of Vienna's establishment is Johnny Guitar, a former gunslinger and her lover. When a heist is pulled in town that results in a man's death, Emma Small, Vienna's rival, rallies the townsfolk to take revenge on Vienna's saloon – even without proof of her wrongdoing.

Let's put it down as a fiasco. Miss Crawford went thataway.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times

One of those classic westerns that has maintained its status by reinventing itself every decade since its release in 1954.

For all its violence, this is a surpassingly tender, sensitive film, Ray's gentlest statement of his outsider theme.
