Western: The Searchers / Stagecoach / Fort Apache (3 Pack)

Last Minute Sales & Specials

The "Western 3 Pack" Includes: "The Searchers", "Stagecoach" and "Fort Apache": "The Searchers": Working together for the 12th time, John Wayne and director John Ford forged "The Searchers" into an indelible image of the frontier and the men and women who challenged it. Wayne plays ex-Confederate soldier Ethan Edwards, a believer more in bullets than in words. He's seeking his niece, captured by Comanches who massacred his family. He won't surrender to hunger, thirst, the elements or loneliness. And in his obsessive, five-year quest, Ethan encounters something he didn't expect to find: his own humanity. "Stagecoach": Nine passengers ride a stage through Apache territory... and into movie immortality. The John Ford classic that won two Academy Awards(R) and made John Wayne a star. "Fort Apache": The soldiers at "Fort Apache" may disagree with the tactics of their glory-seeking new commander. But to a man, they're duty-bound to obey - even when it means almost certain disaster. John Wayne, Henry Fonda and many familiar supporting players from master director John Ford's "stock company" saddle up for the first film in the director's famed cavalry trilogy ("She Wore A Yellow Ribbon" and "Rio Grande" are the others). Roughhouse camaraderie, sentimental vignettes of frontier life, massive action sequences staged in Monument Valley - all are part of "Fort Apache". So is Ford's exploration of the West's darker side. Themes of justice, heroism and honor that Ford would revisit in later Westerns are given rein in this moving, thought-provoking film that, even as it salutes a legend, gives reasons to question it.
