The hero of this American western, set in the late 1980s, is a white man named John Russell, nicknamed Hombre. As a child, he was kidnapped from his parents and raised among the Indians. Although he was later rescued by the whites and even took the name of his foster father, he never fit in among the whites.
The story takes place at a time when the American West had already been completely conquered by whites, and remnants of the native population were surviving, herded onto inhospitable reservations. Hombre, aware of the crimes committed by the whites against the Indians, despises the whites and returns to his red brothers on one of the reservations.
Despite his contempt, however, the brave man stands up to defend the whites, who are ambushed on the stagecoach route by a band of vicious robbers. And when the bandits, who have their eye on the Indian reservation manager's briefcase full of stolen wealth, take the manager's wife hostage in the desert, he follows them at the head of the other passengers to try to rescue her...
