He was a Texas hero...but branded a coward! Glenn Ford starts in a sprawling, action-packed Western that hurtles from the battle of the Alamo to a gripping wagon train journey through hostile territory. Ford plays John Stroud, a freedom fighter who agrees to leave his post at the Alamo so he can warn his family and neighbors of approaching Mexican armies. When he discovers he's too late, he swears vengeance on the Yankee mercenaries who, fighting for Mexico, have murdered his wife and child. At the same time, Stroud must face the accusations of his outraged countrymen, who believe he fled his post in an act of cowardice. Only by confronting the enemy can he redeem himself in his fellow citizens' eyes - and in his own.

Hondo (Batjac): Apachernas krigstrummor blir en illavarslande varning för en isolerad kvinnlig ranchägare och hennes lille son i denna spännande och minnesvärda John Wayne-klassiker. Wayne spelar Hondo Lane, en kavallerist som får agera beskyddare åt den viljestarka Angie Lowe (Geraldine Page) och blir en fadersgestalt för hennes son, Johnny (Lee Aaker). Angie har beslutat sig för att vänta på att hennes råbarkade make (Leo Gordon) ska komma tillbaka, och vägrar att lämna deras gård trots den ökande faran från de krigande indianstammarna i närheten. Hon blir alltmer fäst vid främlingen Hondo - en man som har härdats av tuffa erfarenheter men som fortfarande kan visa sympati, godhet och kärlek. I birollerna ser vi bland andra Ward Bond, Michael Pate, James Arness och Rodolfo Acosta. Page, i en av sina första filmroller, fick en Oscar®-nominering för Bästa kvinnliga biroll.
