The preacher looks the saloon-keeper in the eye and offers him friendly advice:get yourself a gun;learn how to use it. That's the Old West,put briefly. Then he teaches him. He tells him God wants him to mind his business. People are practical here,not even talk of demons lasts long. Maybe fighting evil should have been it,though,because Harrison Ford tells us manliness requires killing people who get in your way and putting people out of their misery. Love of one's own makes one as harsh as the wilderness.
Cowboys,as seen in Westerns,must be paradigmatic of the human beings for the story to make sense. Bloodshed requires men;in battle,Harrison Ford charges an alien like a jousting knight. Then it emerges criminals and Indians will do,too. They all share in lawlessness and war. Our outlaw protagonist steals alien weaponry and follows his inclination to war. The woman,typically treacherous,turns out to be an alien. Apparently,the look and the being are very different. She looked beautiful,or else she would have been uninteresting,unpersuasive;but she has self-sacrifice on her mind,to save mankind. It seems that men's inability to understand the truth about her being goes with their need of her. But she is uninteresting,like a goddess in the machine.
The aliens apparently want gold and experiment on human beings. They carbonize humans;and they also make them stare into a mesmerizing light that steals their minds,which helps Ford's bully of a son turn into a decent fellow.
