Ride in the Whirlwind

Between jobs, three cowhands had the unfortunate misfortune of pitching night camp in the same valley as a cabin full of men who have just looted a stagecoach and killed the guard. A posse arrives in the morning, forms up along the ridge, and assumes that everyone down below is guilty—fit for being shot or hung from a tree, whichever comes first. Almost half of Ride in the Whirlwind's 82 minutes are dedicated to capturing the situation's matter-of-fact, absurdist horror. The two remaining cowpokes (Jack Nicholson and Cameron Mitchell) seek refuge at a farmhouse, where they hesitantly threaten the farmer, accept breakfast from his wife, flirt with his daughter (Millie Perkins), play checkers, and hope to remain unnoticed until dusk.
