Thought by many to be director John Ford's masterpiece, 'The Searchers' tells the story of Ethan Edwards (John Wayne), an ex-confederate soldier who swears revenge after his brother's family is butchered by Comanches and his niece (Natalie Wood) is kidnapped. Accompanied by Martin Pawley (Jeffrey Hunter), a young foundling raised by the family, Ethan sets out on a epic seven-year search for the missing girl. But as their quest draws to a close, Martin begins to realise the extent to which Ethan has been dehumanised by his own thirst for revenge.

John Wayne stars in this classic romantic drama directed by John Ford. The story follows Irish-American boxer Sean Thornton (Wayne) who refuses to fight again after a traumatic bout. He returns to Ireland to reclaim his family's farm in Inisfree. But when love intervenes he is forced to fight again to win the heart and hand of local girl Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara) whose brother Red (Victor McLaglen) wants the farm for himself and objects to the pair's union.

John Ford directs this US Western starring James Stewart as a marshal of a small town in the 1880s. Marshal Guthrie McCabe (Stewart) doesn't do much to earn his badge preferring to take money for illicit dealings. That changes when he is persuaded by First Lt. Jim Gary (Richard Widmark) to rescue a group of white people who were kidnapped by the Comanche Indians. However, when they do finally rescue two of the prisoners and bring them back to the town it seems they are less than welcome.
