Story of a haunting figure who embodies the qualities of the lone hero through the ages from ancient myth to frontier western legend.His pursuit of the man in black,his liaison w/the sexually ravenous Alice,his friendship w/the kid from Earth called Jake,are part of that drama that are both grppingly realistic and eerily dreamlike,an alchemy of storyteeling sorcery.
