A truly demented Western, with vividly colourful settings and and an almost operatic intensity of emotional and physical violence.

In the wind-swept town of Sedona, Arizona, Vienna, a strong-willed saloonkeeper, finds herself at odds with the local cattlemen and townsfolk, who are determined to force her out of town. When a stagecoach holdup goes awry, Vienna's former lover and gunslinger, Johnny Guitar, arrives on the scene, and a smoldering love/hate relationship develops between them.
