Hombre is a 1967 western film starring Paul Newman.

Plot

Paul Newman plays a white man raised by Apache Indians faces prejudice when he must deal with the white world. He finds that he’s the key to his detractors’ survival after a stagecoach load of people are stranded by robbers.

Critical reaction

Most reviews of the film are positive. Critics praise the performance of Newman and the writing of Elmore Leonard. Movie critic Roger Ebert, in a 1967 review, notes "The performances are uniformly excellent. Three particularly pleasing ones, however, were from Diane Cilento, the boarding house operator who talks Hombre into his ethical heroics; Richard Boone as the villainous Cicero Grimes, and Martin Balsam, as the good Mexican. Ritt directs with a steady hand, and the dialog by Irving Ravetch and Harriet Flank bears listening to. It's intelligent, and has a certain grace as well."
