Doc West (2009): Cast & Plot

Minnesota “Doc” West, Terence Hill, is a roaming fixer and healer who begins by sending money marked with an “E” from a Santa Fe post office to a Boston boarding school. Almost immediately, the post office is robbed by two bandits, prompting West to pursue them on horseback. His chase pauses when a boy named Silver, Benjamin Petry, is tossed from his own horse in the wake of a rattlesnake’s rattling threat. West uses his medical training to diagnose and reset Silver’s dislocated arm, even as he insists to the boy that he isn’t a doctor. This blend of rough competence and restraint plants the seed of West’s complicated reputation in a frontier town that values bravado as much as skill.
