Filmed in the mountains of southern Arizona, HOMBRE derives much value from the rugged and authentic locations of this story about a white man brought up by Apaches and sympathetic to them.  As a passenger on a stagecoach he is required to ride on the coach rather than in it, because of the bias of an Indian agent.  When they are attacked by outlaws, it is the white Apache who proves to be the most courageous of all, as he finally loses his life defending the others.  HOMBRE rates as one of the better Westerns, with a good story and excellent acting, but it is also a morality tale pointing up racial bias and hypocrisy.
