STARRING - Tab Hunter and Natalie Wood
DIRECTED BY - Stuart Heisler
They eat, sleep and breathe one thought: kill. The gunmen who cut down Trace Jordan's brother have closed ground on hard-riding Trace. They never think the hunted will become the hunter. They never suspect Trace will lead them into a camp of hostile Comanches.
The excitement moves like a firestorm in The Burning Hills, based on a novel by Louis L'Amour and starring Tab Hunter and Natalie Wood. The two leads were among the '50s most popular talents when they took on the roles of Trace and his companion-in-flight Maria. Wood had just made a triumphant shift to mature roles with Rebel Without a Cause the prior year. And Hunter was still surrounded by the buzz from his Battle Cry role. In this action roundup, the so-called "Battle Cry Guy" showed he was a fightin' guy.
