Rage At Dawn (DVD)

Western stalwart Randolph Scott stars in Rage at Dawn, a film based on the exploits of the infamous Reno gang.

Scott is federal agent James Barlow, who is assigned to put an end to the Reno gang's reign of terror. He realizes that the best way to beat them is to make them think he's one of them, and after staging a string of phony train robberies, he's accepted into the gang. Barlow discovers that the reason the Reno's were able to operate so freely is because they've been paying off many local officials. He finds himself caught between the "bad" and the "good" guys.

Mala Powers stars as Scott's romantic interest and among those portraying members of the Reno gang are Forrest Tucker, J. Carrol Naish and Denver Pyle.
