With The Searchers, John Wayne and director John Ford forged an indelible saga of the frontier and the men and women who challenged it.
Wayne plays Ethan Edwards, an ex-Confederate who sets out to find his niece, captured by Comanches who massacred his family. He won't surrender to hunger, thirst, the elements or loneliness. And in his obsessive quest, Ethan finds something unexpected: his own humanity. One of the most influential movies ever made.

Greatest Western Ever

I first saw this film as an 11 year old in1956, and I have never changed my opinion that it is the best western ever.
John Ford and John Wayne created one of the most intriguing and darkest characters in the genre, a man so full of hate and vengeance that he kept searching for his neice for years and years.
The film hinges on this intense hatred, and what the final outcome will be. Both Ford and Wayne deserved oscars for this masterpiece.

Make no mistake "The Searchers" is one of the truly great films with breathtaking visual beauty, An amazing epic story and without any shadow of a doubt John Wayne's finest and bravest performance playing the anti hero, Ethan Edwards. Its also easy to see the influence this movie has had on such diverse classics as "Once upon a time in the West" and "Taxi Driver". Truly interested in movies - "See this film"
awesome
