Details

• Release Year: 1979

• Plot: It's 1850 and newly-ordained orthodox rabbi Avram Belinski (Wilder) from Poland goes to America to lead a Jewish community, in San Francisco. When he arrives in America he is highjacked and has to work his way across the country, and sets out on horseback from Philadelphia to San Francisco, knowing only that California's 'somewhere near New York.' On the way he meets up with a bank robber Tom Lillard (Ford), but he knows when one needs a heap of help. And getting this tenderfoot to Frisco in one piece is going to cause a heap of trouble -- with the law, Indians and a bunch of ruthless killers.
