More than 100 years ago, in a small town in the middle of the United States, Sheriff Kane had just married a non-local girl. The habitual gangster who was arrested and sentenced to death will arrive in the town at 12:00 noon (High Noon) by train to seek revenge. The three helpers of the habitual gangster are already waiting at the station. Despite his wife's objections, despite the new sheriff's arrival tomorrow, Kane resolutely turned back halfway, returned to the office, and put on his badge again. He looked around for help, including the retired old sheriff and one of his subordinates, but was rejected. He went to church, and some of the people who were listening to the sermon wanted to come out to help him, but I heard that if there was a shootout between Kane and the habitual bandits, then the northerners who wanted to invest and set up factories here would never come again; so , no one is willing to come out to help him. However, Kane, without hesitation, bravely and wisely fought with the four habitual bandits, and with the help of his wife, who got on the train and jumped off the train, killed all the four habitual bandits. As people swarmed the street, Kane took off his badge, dropped it, and drove off with his wife in a wagon with their luggage. After watching this film, I can't help but sigh over the backwardness of society in the desolate and vast wilderness of the American Midwest more than a hundred years ago: a few lawless gangsters can actually run amok, which requires It took many generations of "Jiantou Man" and the general public to make the local enter a society with developed rule of law. And Sheriff Kane, in order to maintain justice and uphold justice, is not afraid of having no helpers, regardless of personal safety and fierce gun battles with the gangsters, what kind of spirit is this spirit? This is the spirit of patriotism, this is the spirit of heroism, and this is the spirit that every American, no matter what class, white-collar or blue-collar, should learn to possess. With this spirit, society can move forward. A fourteen-year-old boy who pretended to be sixteen expressed to Kane that he was willing to follow him. This film is one of the most exciting and touching westerns depicting the struggle between good and evil and focusing on gunfights.
