Full Plot Details

A Stranger (Clint Eastwood) rides into in the dusty mining town of Lago, where the townspeople are living in the shadow of a dark secret. After a shoot-out leaves the town's hired-gun protectors dead, the town's leaders petition the Stranger to stay and protect them from three ruthless outlaws who are soon to be released from prison. The three have their sights set on returning to Lago to wreak havoc and take care of some unfinished business. A series of events soon has the townspeople questioning whether siding with the Stranger was a wise idea, as they quickly learn the price that they each must pay for his services. As the outlaws make their way back into Lago, they discover that the town is not exactly as they had left it, and waiting in the shadows is the Stranger, ready to expose the town's secret and serve up his own brand of justice.

Movie Reviews

Netflix - 9/10 by James RocchiThere's some nice action here, and the whole thing is cloaked in an archetypal spookiness that makes High Plains Drifter work not only as a 'man with no name' Western but also as something a little deeper.
Blu-ray.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfMysterious, sporadically comical, and classically Eastwood, High Plains Drifter is a wholly satisfying revenge saga that's askew enough to surprise as it exercises known elements.
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonClint Eastwood's first Western as director is rather fascinating due to its quasi-supernatural component.
Variety - 9/10 by Variety StaffEastwood's second directorial effort is mechanically stylish.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzClint's a supernatural amoral mythical hero (of the pulp novel kind), bent on cruelty and getting revenge for a past misdeed.
Time Out - 8/10 by Derek AdamsThis was supposed to be Eastwood's fond adieu to the worlds of Sergio Leone and Don Siegel; and indeed he cuts the operatic excess of the former with the punchy economy of the latter.
The Dissolve - 8/10 by Noel MurrayWhat’s most notable is how Eastwood holds fast to the rebel spirit of the spaghetti Westerns and revisionist New Hollywood Westerns of the previous decade, but packages it in a film that’s slicker and more mainstream-friendly. 
Empire - 8/10 by Ian NathanBrutal story-line which is about as close to an explicit allegory as the western has ever come.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Don DrukerFull of delirious color symbolism and macho cruelties, but not without its humor as well. The story is pure dime-store allegory, but the director/star knows his western cliches and uses them like a master.
AboutFilm.com - 7/10 by Carlo Cavagnathe universal story in its most basic form
