The story seems biblical in many ways.
Itâs about a father and a son. They are deeply moral and share a love and respect for each other as they try to assist everyone they meet.
There are elements of revenge, retribution and redemption. Many of the episodes feature dangerous men, seemingly bound for Hell with their crazed anger and evil intentions.
Even the names of the three main characters seem straight out of the Old and New testaments: Lucas and Mark McCain and Marshal Micah Torrance.
Their legend wasnât written on parchment but was filmed for TV for the western series âThe Rifleman.â
