Rio Grande 1950
John Ford’s most powerful drama, a sweeping saga of the U.S. Cavalry and the third film in his frontier trilogy. Lieutenant Colonel Kirby Yorke is stationed on the Texas frontier, struggling to protect settlers from relentless Apache raids while coping with a severe shortage of men. The situation intensifies when his long‑absent son, Trooper Jeff Yorke, arrives as one of eighteen new recruits assigned to his command.
