The western genre traditionally relies on shootouts, train robberies, and horseback chases to keep its audience entertained, but not every western movie needs to lean into high-octane action scenes to captivate viewers. Shane has a brutal bar brawl, The Wild Bunch has a blood-soaked gunfight, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly forces its characters to cross an active Civil War battlefield. But not every classic western is as action-heavy as them.
