The Night Riders(1920)

The Night Riders is a western film centered on ranch owner Julian Marbolt, a man cursed with day blindness who can only see after dark. When a gang of Klan-like night riders terrorizes the region, Marbolt seizes his rare advantage: his ability to move freely under cover of darkness. He posts a substantial reward for the capture of the gang's leader, setting in motion a tense hunt across the frontier. The film explores themes of disability as unexpected strength and justice pursued through unconventional means. Marbolt's affliction becomes his weapon in a landscape where most men are rendered helpless by nightfall. Tension builds as the night riders' reign of terror collides with one man's determination to restore order to his land.
