Description[]

The unbeatable teaming of JOHN WAYNE and the director JOHN FORD achieve another first-rate success in this renowned story of the U.S. cavalry and their bloody fight against renegade Apache Indians on the U.S.-mexican border. Forbidden by the politicians to follow the Apaches across the border into Mexico, Wayne is frustrated led by his lack of freedom of action. To add to his problems, his young son enlists in his regiment without his father's permission and is hotly pursued by Wayne's estranged wife, the beautiful and tempestuous MAUREEN O'HARA. The perfect casting and direction of this classic all-action western adventure ensures first class entertainment.
