Wanted Dead or Alive: Season 1

Movie / Show Details

Wanted: Dead or Alive is a western television series that premiered on CBS in 1958, starring Steve McQueen as Josh Randall, a bounty hunter with an unusual code of honor. Rather than fitting the typical rough frontier archetype, Randall is a gentleman who frequently gives away his reward money to those in need. Armed with a sawed-off Winchester rifle he calls his “Mare’s Leg,” he pursues his quarry across the Old West with quiet determination. The series features guest appearances from James Coburn, DeForest Kelley, and Michael Landon, among others.

This DVD edition contains all 36 episodes of Season 1 across 4 discs, with a total runtime of over 15 hours in black and white. Originally broadcast on CBS, the show became the launching pad for McQueen’s transition to major film roles, including the western classic The Magnificent Seven. Episodes include “The Martin Poster,” “Fatal Memory,” “The Bounty,” “Dead End,” “Passing of Shawnee Bill,” and many more frontier adventures.
