In this epic tale, a ruthless Texas rancher is determined to get his huge herd of cattle to the market…and to have his revenge on his liberal minded son who, rebelling against his father's growing authoritarianism, takes the cattle to Abeline just over the newly opened Chishom Trail. From a magazine story "The Chisholm Trail" by Borden Chase.
Headstrong Thomas Dunson starts a thriving Texas cattle ranch with the help of his faithful trail hand, Groot, and his protégé, Matthew Garth, an orphan Dunson took under his wing when Matt was a boy. In need of money following the Civil War, Dunson and Matt lead a cattle drive to Missouri, where they will get a better price than locally, but the crotchety older man and his willful young partner begin to butt heads on the exhausting journey.

Bad Download ProblemI tried to download the film and it hung my whole system. Spent over 2 hours trying to get it fixed but they couldn’t help. Ended cancelling my purchase. The problem is with the vendor. The file is corrupted and downloads fail. This needs to be fixed. DON'T BUY THIS UNTIL THEY FIX THE PROBLEM..Score: 1/5
Red River One Great Movie with Clift and Wayne at their BestThere is no better John Wayne movie than the Searcher's. In fact the Searchers is one of the best movies ever made. However Red River is a great story and while not quite at as good as the Searchers is still a great movie. Even if you don't like Westerns there is a great story here and enough suspense to keep you glued to your seat. The Thomas Dunson character played by John Wayne is a tough rancher whose got to drive his herd of cattle 1,000 miles from Texas to Missouri or the face the loss of his ranch that he’s owned for more than twenty years. Along the way an argument ensues over which trail is best to get to their and John Wayne kills the men who go against him. Matthew “Matt” Garth played by Montgomery Clift who is fantastic in this movie, is like a son to Dunson and he steps in to calm everyone down. However Dunson assumes Garth, out of devotion and loyalty will settle on his side but Garth agrees that the trail the ranch hands want to take is the better trail and is angry with Dunson for killing the men. Garth tries to convince Dunson that this is best for all but Dunson is filled with rage over what he feels is betrayal at the hand of “son” and refuses to go along with the plan. But before riding back home Dunson promises to kill them all including Garth. This sets the stage an impending show down and a cattle drive that is full of fear, tension and suspense as the team led by Garth is certain that Dunson is on their heels. At night no one can sleep as the sound of a Coyote howling or the wind blowing spreads to confusion and fear as they are certain that Dunson and death at his hands awaits them all..Score: 4/5

Top Ten WesternWow. This is a classic of the genre and deserves to be ranked among the best. It's like "Mutiny on the Bounty" during a cattle drive, or "Heart of Darkness" on the prairie. John Wayne gives a great dramatic performance (no, really), and Montgomery Clift is fantastic. And, for god's sake, triple-Oscar winner Walter Brennan! (not a typo) The only flaw in this film is the ending, which is surprisingly weak, but otherwise a stellar adventure..Score: 5/5
Suprisingly goodThis was suprisingly good. I think the story and John Wayne are what stand out. The story is interesting enough to keep my attention, and the younger John Wayne is awesome..Score: 4/5

Must seeYou should view this even if you don't think it's your cup of tea. It's a wonderfully made and acted film. It's also interesting to think that just a few years after the end of World War II, after the parade of war flicks that came out of Hollywood, audiences we ready for cattle drives. Did this film enable people better to understand the modern world through a story about a vanished past, or were audiences hungry for escape from their present?.Score: 5/5
