Plot

In the adrenaline-fueled heart of the Wild West, "Rider on a Dead Horse" is the riveting tale of three gritty prospectors - Senn, Taylor, and Hayden. Faced with the unrelenting threat of warring Apaches, they make the calculated decision to divide and bury their precious trove of gold, a desperate measure forged in the crucible of survival. Yet as the dust of their decision settles, a lethal contagion of greed begins to infect their camaraderie. The suspense intensifies as the narrative spirals into a dizzying series of double-crosses, triple-crosses, electrifying chases, and explosive shoot-outs. The prospectors, once united by a common cause, are driven to the brink of treachery and murder, their bonds fraying under the weight of their gold-lust. The plot thickens further as Lisa Lu's character, a young Chinese woman, is swept into the storm of gold fever. Her inclusion marks a fascinating deviation from the norm, offering a unique lens of Asian representation in this quintessentially American western. "Rider on a Dead Horse" is a gripping exploration of human nature in the face of danger and temptation, a thrilling ride that holds you captive until the last gun is fired and the final secret unearthed.
