This is by most accounts the first Western, and certainly one of the first long-form narratives. Some bandits orchestrate a robbery but are foiled and killed in a shoot-out. What's truly notable is the relatively advanced technique used to construct the film; there is a refreshing lack of narration cards and the action flows well from one scene to another. It doesn't outstay its welcome at just under twelve minutes and feels as if it has a clear beginning, middle and end.
