Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
John Ford's Wagon Master is an excellent western about two cowboys (Ben Johnson, Harry Carey Jr.) who guide a wagon train of Mormons on their way toward Utah. Along the way, the wagon train runs into a number of adventures, including battling a gang of murderous thieves. The film inspired the television series Wagon Train and was also shown in a computer-colorized version, Poetic story of a pioneering Mormon community. Forced out of Crystal City, a group of Mormons head westward in search of the promised land. The journey is treacherous, and two footloose horse traders are persuaded to "give the Lord a hand" and guide them across the desert. On the trail, the wagon train encounters travelling entertainers, fugitive gunfighters and Native Americans.
