Loner: The Complete Series

"In the aftermath of the bloodletting called the Civil War, thousands of ruthless, restless, searching men travelled west. Such a man is William Colton."

Lloyd Bridges (Sea Hunt, Airplane!) stars as Colton, a former Union cavalry captain who rides the American West in search of himself. His journey finds him crossing paths with a range of men and women emblematic of the best — and worst — in humanity. Introspective and emotionally complex, The Loner stood apart from the typical "white hat/black hat" Western entertainment of its day, bolstered by Bridges' nuanced performance and Serling's steady hand at the reins.

Running for only 26 episodes in the 1965-66 television season, The Loner nevertheless remains a series highly regarded among Western fans for its mature tone and thematically intriguing scripts, many written by Serling himself.
