Buck and the Preacher

This funny, exciting, and unique Western depicts the unlikely partnership that unfolds between an ex-soldier (Sidney Poitier) and a conniving man of the cloth (Harry Belafonte). At first suspicious and disdainful of each other, the two eventually find no one else to trust--and end up working together to lead a group of ex-slaves to homestead sites while dealing with hostile whites...and each other! Poitier’s first credit as director co-stars Ruby Dee, Cameron Mitchell. 102 min. Standard and Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital mono, Portuguese Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai; biographies; theatrical trailers.
