How it feels

A cold-blooded gun-for-hire rides into a small town. The townspeople grow increasingly nervous because his presence usually means someone is going to die.

What happens

No Name on the Bullet is a 1959 American CinemaScope Western film directed by Jack Arnold, and starring Audie Murphy, Charles Drake, and Joan Evans. It is one of a handful of pictures in that genre directed by Arnold, better known for his science-fiction movies of the era. Although it is one of Universal Pictures' modestly budgeted vehicles for World War II hero Audie Murphy, the top-billed actor is unusually cast as the villain, a cold-blooded gun-for-hire.
