8 Best Snowy Westerns Ever
4. Death Hunt
A fictionalised account of one of the most famous manhunts in history, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police pursuing a fugitive known as the “Mad Trapper of Rat River”. Starring Hollywood tough guys Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin (The Killers), lone trapper Albert Johnson shoots and kills a man in self-defence near his remote cabin. When a tough Sergeant brings an armed posse to arrest him for murder, a violent chase follows through the treacherous frozen mountains.
While it was criticised for fabricating many aspects of the real manhunt, the movie is considered an exciting and highly entertaining story and showcased stunning scenery as a backdrop for two scenery-chewing Hollywood legends.
