Editor's Note
Created by Western filmmaker Sam Peckinpah (THE WILD BUNCH), THE RIFLEMAN was consistently one of the most popular shows on television during its five-year run (1958-1963) on ABC. Former athlete Chuck Connors stars as Lucas McCain, a widower with a young son. McCain moves to New Mexico in the 1880s, where he struggles with raising his son and running a ranch. But McCain's desire to see justice done cannot be denied, either, and he often finds himself battling outlaws and wrongdoers. McCain sets an admirable example for his son in each 30-minute episode of this Western television series. THE RIFLEMAN BOXED SET COLLECTION 5 features 20 episodes from the show.
