High Noon tells the story
of a lawman named Will Kane who has just married a young bride, promising
to leave his dangerous career and settle down for a quiet life.
Just as they are about to leave, word comes that Frank Miller, a
vicious killer Kane had sent to prison years earlier, is coming to town
on the noon train. Kane attempts to rally the town to fight the gunman,
but nobody is willing to help, not even his deputy Harvey. Harvey's cowardice
infuriates his girlfriend, Helen, whose romantic past with both Kane
and with Miller convinces her to leave town. As the dreaded noon
hour approaches, Kane realizes he must stand alone against the coming
storm.
