El jinete sin cabeza (English: The Headless Rider) is a 1957 Mexican horror Western film directed by Chano Urueta.
A mysterious stranger on horseback rides into an unnamed Mexican town for an unknown purpose.
The superstitious locals soon begin to talk of a legendary gunfighter with the speed to outdraw even the fastest hand.
Tensions begin to rise as the stranger leaves a trail of bodies in his wake.
El Jinete sin cabeza was the first film in what was originally a three-part serial called the "Headless Rider" series.
