Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Lonely Are the Brave is a 1962 western directed by David Miller. It features a script by Dalton Trumbo, adapted from Edward Abbey's novel The Brave Cowboy, and a score by Jerry Goldsmith.Jack Burns (Kirk Douglas) is an itinerant ranch hand who still lives the life of an Old West cowboy in 1960s New Mexico, riding everywhere on his horse, Whiskey, sleeping wherever he ends up in the evening, shunning modern technology, and having no form of identification. As the film opens, Jack visits Jerry Bondi (Gena Rowlands), the wife of his friend Paul, who has been jailed for aiding illegal immigrants, and vents his spleen about modern society's emphasis on telling people where they can or can't go and what they can or can't do.Jack decides to break Paul out of jail and gets himself arrested, but Paul is near the end of his sentence and would rather serve it out and return to his family, so Jack breaks out alone. He heads for the Mexican border, pursued by Duke City Sheriff Morey Johnson (Walter Matthau), his none-too-bright deputy Harry (William Schallert), and brutish deputy Gutierrez (George Kennedy). Although the odds seem stacked against him, he manages to give them the slip, but as he attempts to cross Highway 66 in Tijeras Canyon, the modern world is about to catch up with him...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Douglas named Lonely Are the Brave his favourite of his own films. It also provides the first film role of Bill Bixby, who makes an uncredited appearance as a helicopter pilot, and one of the first film roles of Carroll O'Connor, who plays 18-wheeler driver Hinton. | |

Bar Brawl: Jack goes into a bar, where a one-armed man takes an almost instant dislike to him. Needing to get into prison to break Paul out, Jack allows the man to provoke him into a fight, and uses one arm himself to keep things fair. | |

| Lonely Are the Brave / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: Early in the film, we are introduced to Hinton, a truck driver transporting 156 porcelain toilets (or "privies" as he describes them) from Missouri to New Mexico. He appears in a few further cutaway scenes, but his importance to the plot only becomes clear in the final sequence, when his 18-wheeler strikes Jack as he tries to cross Highway 66 on horseback in a downpour, dealing a literal and figurative blow from the modern world that Jack has stubbornly refused to join all his life. | |
