help Hombre FAQ

Why is Paul Newman's character called Hombre?

Newman plays John Russell, a white man raised among Apache people who is treated as an outsider by the stagecoach passengers. The title, Spanish for "man," becomes a mark of the reluctant respect Russell earns during the journey.

What causes the stagecoach crisis in Hombre?

The passengers are attacked by outlaws who know that Indian agent Alexander Favor is carrying money taken from the people he was supposed to serve. Russell's survival skills make him indispensable even though the passengers previously forced him to ride outside.

Is Hombre based on an Elmore Leonard book?

Yes. Martin Ritt's 1967 film adapts Elmore Leonard's 1961 novel Hombre, with Paul Newman playing John Russell and Richard Boone playing the outlaw Cicero Grimes.

What kind of Western is Hombre?

Hombre is commonly described as a revisionist Western because it challenges the genre's usual racial and moral divisions. Its Apache-raised protagonist confronts the prejudice and hypocrisy of supposedly respectable white travelers rather than pursuing a conventional frontier adventure.
