Story: Hurry Sundown starts when Henry Warren (Caine) is looking to conduct business with his family. He wants to buy the land to sell to make himself wealthy. However, his war veteran cousin Rad McDowell (Law) and his wife Lou (Dunaway) have their own plans for their land.
As Henry continues to try and conduct his business, he finds himself up against another problem. A family that his own wife Julie Ann (Fonda) had left the home to. This leads to a political problem, as the local Judge Purcell (Meredith) is against black people in their own community.
Verdict on Hurry Sundown
Hurry Sundown is a drama following a wealthy businessman looking to take advantage of his family. He wants to buy their land cheap and evict families that have been there for generations. However, a series of challenges make this difficult and people’s true colours start coming out.
This is a drama that has been dated by the language involved. It comes with a warning about the racial behavior in the movie. The story of greed and exploiting people is one we have seen so many times. However, this doesn’t do anything to make anything stand out in any other way.
Final Thoughts – Hurry Sundown is an outdated drama.
