With The Searchers, John Wayne and director John Ford forged an indelible saga of the frontier and the men and women who challenged it. Wayne helps Ethan Edwards, an ex-Confederate who sets out to find his niece, captured by Comanche's who massacred his family. He won't surrender to hunger, thirst, the elements or loneliness. And in his obsessive quest, Ethan finds something unexpected: his own humanity. One of the most influential movies ever made, The Searchers contains sequences that are “a brilliant fusing of editing, camera work and performance as filtered through a master director's eyes” (Ted Sennett, Great Hollywood Westerns).

Cast: John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, Vera Miles, Ward Bond, Natalie Wood. Director John Ford.
