The Petrified Forest 1955
Gabrielle Maple runs a dusty desert gas‑station café but dreams of becoming an artist in France, convinced there’s more to life than her provincial dead‑end. Disillusioned writer Alan Squier hitch‑hikes into town, reviving her hopes and finding purpose in her vitality. Their peace shatters when convicted killer Duke Mantee and his gang take hostages, forcing Gabrielle to choose love for the poetic Alan and giving him a chance to help her claim the future she deserves.
