The Arizona Raider is a 1948 Western film directed by Jack Rawlins and starring Tim Holt and his father Jack.[2][3][4]

RKO head of production Dore Schary, impressed by the Holts being in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, gave the film a bigger budget than Holt Westerns normally received.[5] It was also known as The Arizona Ranger.[6]

Premise
