John Wayne stars as rancher John Chisum who runs a vast New Mexico spread where he raises cattle. He protects himself and other ranchers from rustlers and tries to keep the land accessible to other less fortunate cattlemen.
Chisum's nemesis, Laurence Murphy, tries to buy up all the land and drive businesses out of town. Our hero, with the help of his friends and neighbors, puts an end to Murphy's shenanigans.
I'm not a western scholar but I know elements of this story reflect real history. I just found Wayne an amazing charmer and nice performances by the rest of the cast. Grab some popcorn and spend a couple hours exploring the old west.
The DVD can be found in Myrtle Point. VHS copies are in Coos Bay and Bandon.
