Synopsis
"Slam-bang, exciting, funny. One of the all-time great Westerns." -Danny Peary, Guide For The Film FanaticOn one side is an army of gunmen dead-set on springing a murderous sidekick from jail. On the other is Sheriff John T. Chance and his two deputies: one a drunk, the other a cripple. Place your bets.
John Wayne is Chance in "Rio Bravo," a lean Western classic packing solid heroics and a strong emotional core. He's joined by Dean Martin as the deputy coming off a two-year drunk and Walter Brennan as the old coot whose spirit outmatches his hobbled stride. Ricky Nelson is a youth out to prove himself, and Angie Dickinson is the scarlet woman with her eye on Chance. Director Howard Hawks lifted the Western to new heights with "Red River." Capturing the legendary West with a stellar cast in peak form, he does it again here.
