How it feels

A white man raised by Apaches reluctantly helps a group of stagecoach passengers after they are attacked by outlaws. He keeps his own code and speaks very little, letting his actions do the talking.

What happens

Hombre (Spanish for 'man') is a 1967 American revisionist Western film directed by Martin Ritt, based on the 1961 novel of the same name by Elmore Leonard and starring Paul Newman, Fredric March, Richard Boone and Diane Cilento. Newman's amount of dialogue in the film is minimal and much of the role is conveyed through mannerism and action. This was the sixth and final time Ritt directed Newman; they had previously worked together on The Long, Hot Summer; Paris Blues; Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man; Hud; and The Outrage.
