For the first time in brilliant hi def, this action filled western stars john wayne as big jake mccandles, a husband who hasn't seen his wife maureen o'hara in over 9 years. But he returns home after his grandson is kidnapped by a vicious outlaw gang. While the law gives chase in rickety automobiles, jake saddles up with an indian scout bruce cabot and a box of money even though paying a ransom isn't how jake plans to exact good old frontier justice. Spiced with humor and first class gunfights, this is a vivid depiction of the last days of the wild frontier.
