Pale Rider is a 1985 American Western film produced and directed by Clint Eastwood, who also stars in the lead role. The title is a reference to Death as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, described in a literary passage (also spoken in the film's dialogue) as riding a pale horse; in the film, Eastwood rides a pale horse. The film, which took in over $41 million at the box office, became the highest-grossing Western of the 1980s. It is Eastwood's only Western of the 1980s.

Clinton Eastwood Jr. (born May 31, 1930) is an American actor and film director. After achieving success in the Western TV series Rawhide, Eastwood rose to international fame with his role as the "Man with No Name" in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy of spaghetti Westerns during the mid-1960s and as antihero cop Harry Callahan in the five Dirty Harry films throughout the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, among others, have made Eastwood an enduring cultural icon of masculinity. Elected in 1986, Eastwood served for two years as the mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
