בצהרי היום
המערבון הפסיכולוגי הרציני הראשון, על מאבק יחיד של שריף, מול קבוצת אקדוחנים ומול עיירה עוינת, באלגוריה על תקופת מקארתי. ההתקפה הזו על החברה האמריקאית, מסתיימת בסצינה שבה קופר משליך את תג המארשל שלו לעפר. מלבד זאת, מהווה הסרט גם מערבון מרתק ומהנה. זינמן מגולל את סיפורו של המארשל בחסכנות ובריכוז, היוצרים עוצמה ומתח נדירים.
