The Twilight Zone: Execution (1960)
Season 1, Episode 26
6/10
A Hanged Man
25 October 2014
Albert Salmi plays old west outlaw Joe Caswell, who is about to be hanged for murder when he unexpectedly finds himself transported to the modern day room of a scientist(played by Russell Johnson) who has used time-travel to bring Caswell forward in time, not realizing just how murderous and savage he is, until it is too late... Salmi gives a most believable performance as an immoral man out for himself, and his reactions to the modern world are authentic and well-thought out. Unfortunately, the plot itself is filled with holes and contrivances, undermining him, but episode remains a passable if mediocre effort, falling short of its potential.
