As The Outlaw Josey Wales, four-time Academy Award winner* Clint Eastwood is ideally cast as a hard-hitting, fast-drawing loner, recalling his €œMan with No Name€ from his European Westerns. But unlike that other mythic outlaw, Josey Wales has a name €“ and a heart. After avenging his family€s brutal murder, Wales is on the lam, pursued by a pack of killers. He travels alone, but a ragtag group of outcasts (including Sondra Locke and Chief Dan George) is drawn to him €“ and Wales can€t leave his motley surrogate family unprotected. Eastwood€s skills behind and in front of the camera connected with audiences for its humor and tenderness as well as its hair-trigger action.
