  •   Ralph Anderson returns to his remo…   Ralph Anderson returns to his remote California hometown for the first time in many years. Now a lawyer, he has been estranged from his father, Lloyd, and brother, Tippy, ever since being sent to reform school as a youth for stealing a car, taking the blame for his brother's crime.  Lloyd is now sheriff and Tippy his deputy. Forced to represent a wanted criminal, Ralph asks the law to look the other way while a local airfield is used to enable the mobster, Massonetti, to flee the country. A disgusted Lloyd agrees to help, but Tippy decides to arrest Massonetti and cash in on a big reward.  Tippy's beautiful wife Linda was once the love of Ralph's life and regrets his long absence. She is tired of Tippy's shiftless, drunken ways and Lloyd's domineering rule of the family.  Massonetti arrives in town, backed by Davis, his top thug. Tippy and two deputies, Karger and Eddie, make an amateurish attempt to capture Massonetti, only to get Lloyd shot and killed while trying to stop them. Ralph manages to get Massonetti behind bars at the town jail.  The mob cuts off phone communication and highway access to the town. Ralph suggests driving Massonetti to the authorities in Barstow in the mobster's own fast car. Noticing the tension between the brothers, Massonetti taunts them both and offers $25,000 to tempt Tippy into betraying Ralph and setting him free.  On the road, deputy Eddie is ambushed and the brothers learn that Linda has been abducted. A deal is made to get her back, but Karger is killed and the car is disabled. Ralph manages to get the four of them to a gas station, where the owner is found shot. In a fight for the gun, Ralph is winged and Tippy seriously wounded.  Borrowing a miner's jeep, Ralph drives Massonetti to a main highway, where two policemen take them into custody. They turn out to be impostors who drive Massonetti to an air strip where Davis is waiting with a plane. After they board, Ralph drives the car into the plane, overturning it. He drags Massonetti from the wreckage and holds him until real cops arrive. By the time he returns to the gas station, Linda is watching Tippy's lifeless body carried away.

《七里伏》是诺曼·巴拿马在西部片黄金时代末期交出的一份极具个人风格的答卷。从剧本层面看,影片摆脱了传统西部片二元对立的黑白叙事,转而采用一种近乎黑色电影的纠结感:主角杰克并非完美的圣人,而是背负血债的逃兵;反派克劳斯也并非纯粹的恶魔,他同时扮演着小镇经济支柱与慈善家的伪善面孔。这种道德模糊性在1959年的主流西部片中极为罕见,编剧通过三条情节线——矿权争夺、赏金猎人的契约忠诚、以及印第安人被驱逐的支线——编织出西部开发背后的资本暴力机器。演技方面,饰演杰克·哈珀的罗伯特·雷德福(当时尚未成名)贡献了其早年最具爆发力的表演,尤其是在矿洞独白中颤抖的右手和沙哑的嗓音,微妙地传达出创伤后应激障碍的隐痛。而饰演克劳斯的资深演员莱昂内尔·巴里摩尔则以圆滑的笑面虎形象拿捏住那种令人不寒而栗的绅士风度。影片的摄影由约翰·F·塞茨操刀,采用高对比度的明暗影调,将亚利桑那州沙漠的烈日与矿洞的漆黑形成强烈对照,暗示文明与野性的拉锯。历史价值上,《七里伏》是最后一批使用真实爆破场景而非模型特效的西部片之一,矿洞坍塌段落动用了200吨炸药,成为影史经典实拍场景。不过,影片在当年票房惨淡,因其批判性的阶级叙事与当时麦卡锡主义余毒下的保守氛围格格不入,直到20世纪80年代才被电影学者重新发掘,被认为是‘新西部电影’的先驱之作。遗憾之处在于结尾的处理稍显仓促,杰克救赎的代价被简化为一场枪战,削弱了前半部分的心理深度。但总体而言,这是一部被时间掩埋的珍珠,值得所有西部片爱好者反复咀嚼。
