With his clipped delivery and legendary screen presence, John Wayne is one of the icons of the Western genre.
This collection presents four of the actor's best films: THE SEARCHERS, FORT APACHE, RIO BRAVO, and THE COWBOYS!
The Searchers: Director John Ford and John Wayne forge an indelible saga of the frontier. This was Duke's favorite role, so much so that he named his youngest son after his character Ethan Edwards. Considered by the experts to be the finest western ever made!
Fort Apache: This 1948 John Ford classic is part of the legendary 'Cavalry trilogy' filmed in breathtaking Monument Valley. Join Duke and Henry Fonda are Ward Bond, John Agar and Shirley Temple. Once again, John Ford created a masterpiece as he tells the story of Custer clone Lt. Col. Owen Thursday, and of the brave man, Captain Kirby York, who dared to stand against him.
Rio Bravo: John Wayne is John T. Chance, a sheriff facing an army of gunmen dead-set on springing their murderous side kick from jail. Packing solid heroics and a strong emotional core, this classic from director Howard Hawks captures the legendary west with a stellar cast in peak form. Also starring Walter Brennan, Ricky Nelson, and Ward Bond, this is one of the Duke's best. Many have tried to imitate it, but none have even come close to this western classic.
The Cowboys: John Wayne is Wil Anderson, a cattle rancher forced to use young boys to move his cattle to market. Eleven greenhorn schoolboys and the Duke embark on a cattle drive across four hundred treacherous miles. Along the way, thanks to the Duke's example, the boys become men and are forced to make one of the biggest decisions of their lives. One of John Wayne's finest performances and a definite favorite here at Movie Magic USA. The Cowboys contains all the ingredients that made John Wayne an American legend. For fans of the Duke, this is not to be missed!
