Clint Eastwood's celebrated 1985 Western, Pale Rider, has arrived on the free streaming service Tubi as of November 1.
The film stars Eastwood as a mysterious preacher who aids a town of prospectors facing exploitation by greedy mining companies. He must protect the innocent against hired thugs and corruption.
Pale Rider was a significant commercial and critical success. It grossed $41 million, making it one of the decade's highest-earning Westerns. Critics praised Eastwood's dual role as director and star, with The New York Times calling it "the first decent Western in a very long time." Renowned critic Roger Ebert awarded it a perfect four out of four stars.
This release marks a significant addition for Tubi, bringing a revitalized genre piece to a wide audience. The film's arrival was noted as a much-needed boost for Westerns, following the commercial failure of "Heaven's Gate" in 1980 and marking Eastwood's return to directing Westerns after a ten-year hiatus.
