RW is simply a post-holocaust western, with the cowboys holed up in the fort, the indians ready to make mincemeat of them, and the Lone Ranger (plus Tonto and Silver (the later shot by an indian)) there to save the day. Of course Max wouldn't be integrated into society - would the Lone Ranger be? Now, does anyone have a REAL western whose plot corresponds to RW? David C.
