Starring John Wayne, Montgomery Clift (in his screen debut), Walter Brennan, Harry Carey, Sr. and Noah Beery, Jr., Red River is a hard-hitting, action-packed adventure that captures the grandeur, majesty - and danger - of the wild American West.

The Horse Soldiers:

John Wayne teams with William Holden and eminent western director John Ford for this frontier action packed with laughter, romance and thrills.
