About

This bold, epic western is the story of a ship's captain (Gregory Peck) who ventures west to find a hotbed of jealousy, hatred and dangerous rivalries. As the reluctant hero is thrust into the maelstrom, he must summon all of his resolve to save not only his own life, but also the life of the woman he loves. The legendary William Wyler directs, and Burl Ives won a Supporting Actor Oscar® for his role in this an action-packed adventure that triumphs as a work of art.
