Idaho Red is a 1929 American silent Western film directed by Robert De Lacey.
The last sequence of a Western is ready to be shot. In the blink of an eye, the Director modifies the classical happy ending, because revenge is not happy - and it is never the end of the conflict. He travels the world, horseback riding, seeking a better solution for any war. And he finds out that forgiveness has been tested all over the world, with the best results.
The year is 1869, and Hell has scratched its way into post-Civil War Virginia. Murders become common, talk and fear crush the region. With hope and morality slipping from the inhabitants of Hatchet County, they call on a rogue legion of heroes to drive the evil back to where it came.
