Bad Day at Black Rock

Go To

  • Adaptation Displacement: Not many people know it was based on a short story.
  • Heartwarming Moments
    • Why did Macreedy come to Black Rock? Simply to meet the father of the man who saved his life.
    • Komoko Jr even got a medal for his service and Macreedy just felt his father should receive it. At the end of the film, Doc requests that the medal stay at Black Rock as a means for the town to recover from Smith's stranglehold.
    • Doc himself comes to support Macreedy, realizing that he may be the "prescription" that can fix Black Rock.
  • Moral Event Horizon:
    • Reno crosses it when he guns down his own ally Liz, simply saying that Macreedy coming around meant he could be found out and he had to start with someone.
    • There's also Reno's murder of Komoko, which kickstarts the entire plot.
