Santee is a 1973 American Western film directed by Gary Nelson and starring Glenn Ford.
It was one of the first motion pictures to be shot electronically on videotape, using Norelco PCP-70 portable plumbicon NTSC cameras and portable Ampex VR-1200 2" VTRs, before being transferred to film at Consolidated Film Industries in Hollywood.
Jody Deakes joins up with his father after many years, just to discover that the man is part of an outlaw gang on the run from a relentless bounty hunter named Santee.
Instead, however, Jody discovers that Santee is a good and loving man, tormented by the death of his young son at the hands of another outlaw gang.
Santee and his wife take Jody in, and a father and son relationship begins to grow.
