"Hombre" (1967) was directed by Martin Ritt and produced by Paul Monash. It was based on the novel "Hombre" by Elmore Leonard, which was published in 1961. The film stars Paul Newman as the lead character, John Russell, and also features Richard Boone, Diane Cilento, and Frederick March. The screenplay was written by Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank Jr. "Hombre" was released by 20th Century Fox in 1967.
When a group of travelers is stranded on a stagecoach in the middle of Apache territory, they find themselves at the mercy of John Russell, a white man raised by the Apache. But as tensions rise and danger closes in, it becomes clear that the greatest threat may not be the Apache or the harsh wilderness, but the prejudices and mistrust of those aboard the stagecoach.
As John struggles to navigate his own identity and the expectations of those around him, he must decide where his loyalty truly lies...
An Apache or a white man ?
John Russell is portrayed as a man who is emotionally distant and reserved. This is due in part to his upbringing, as he was raised by the Apaches and has a different perspective on the world than most white people. He is also a man who has experienced a great deal of loss and trauma in his life, which may have contributed to his emotional detachment.
