Death Rides A Horse. 1967.

A young boy witnesses his family killed by bandits, 15 years later he vows to hunt them down with the help of a ex convict who is hunting the bandits.

Gripping and exciting as this film was when i first saw it years ago and after re-watching it, it's still a great western and much more appreciated now, It wasn't just another round em up and shot em, this was a clever laid down plot that focuses on two men from different backgrounds hunting for revenge. Lee Van Cleef plays the ex convict Ryan and and John Phillip Law as Billy the lone survivor of a massacred family and brilliant background score by Ennio Morricone.
