The Ultimate Westerns Collection

PALE RIDER stars Clint Eastwood as the Preacher who wanders into a dusty Californian town and tries to rescue a community of gold prospectors who are being terrorized by the local corporate mining operation. In Sam Peckinpah's THE WILD BUNCH, a crew of ageing bandits--disguised as U.S. soldiers--ride into a Texas border town and rob a railroad company. But they get more than they bargained for when they are ambushed by the company's hired gunmen. Sam Peckinpah's PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID sees Garrett, an ex-crony of Billy the Kid, forced to attempt the arrest of the infamous outlaw. His challenge results in a deadly confrontation. In RIO BRAVO, no-nonsense Texas border sheriff John T. Chance (John Wayne)--aided by a ragtag band of volunteers--fights off ruthless mercenary gunmen in order to keep a murderer in custody. John Ford's classic, genre-defining Western THE SEARCHERS stars John Wayne as Ethan Edwards, a case-hardened Civil War vet on a vigilante mission to rescue his kidnapped niece from the very same Comanches who slaughtered his family. A simple farmer turns outlaw in director Clint Eastwood's powerful Western THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES. When his house is burned and family killed, Josey Wales and a gang of confederates set out for revenge. An encounter with an old Indian chief causes Wales to renounce his vengeful ways and seek out a more peaceful existence. But his past catches up with him and he is drawn back into a world of violence. There's a classic showdown of good versus evil in Andrew Mc Laglen's CHISUM, when a corrupt official starts to exert his authority over the town of Lincoln and one of its founders, cattle owner John Chisum (John Wayne), rallies against him. John Huston's THE UNFORGIVEN sees a wholesome frontier family accused of having secretly adopted an Indian child and passed her off as white, sparking an age-old feud between local Kiowa Indians and white settlers.
