Gold-mine operator "Boss" Kruger (Raymond Massey) has certainly earned his nickname. A frontier dictator, Kruger runs his mine like a prison colony; indeed, most of the workers are fugitives from justice, given dubious "protection" by Kruger. Two of the laborers are Judith Burns (Ruth Roman) and Bob Peters (Dane Clark), both on the lam from the law. Judith and Bob befriend lawyer Milburn (Robert Douglas), who seeks to prove that Kruger is a murderer. A bit too talky for the tastes of most wester (allrovi.com)

On one side we have the romanticism of the old west and on the other side of the coin we have this movie that showcases the brutality of expansion of America. How a person becomes trapped in their own hell from choices they may have made or had thrusted upon them by circumstance. How those in charge utilize power structures and violence to keep everyone in line and how they feel like they’ve earned what they have without much self reflection. Roman is gorgeous.The entire movie drips sweat. Hell

Barricade (1950) is a very nice film visually, but the trapped element of the story doesn't work nearly as well as it's supposed to and therefore a lot of the story becomes underwhelming. Not without merit, though, as the acting is good and it does provide some drama. It just isn't as exciting as it aims to be.
