Howard Hawks directs this Western starring John Wayne and Montgomery Clift. Tom Dunson (Wayne) and his adopted son Matt (Clift) lead the cattle train which establishes the Chisholm Trail. However, father and son argue when it comes to bringing law and order to the Wild West: Tom is tied to an authoritarian approach, whilst his son favours a more liberal stance, refusing to resort to the law of the gun.
