Fort Apache 1948

Directed by John Ford | Starring: Henry Fonda, John Wayne, Shirley Temple, John Agar
Owen Thursday sees his new posting to the desolate Fort Apache as a chance to claim the military honour which he believes is rightfully his. Arrogant, obsessed with military form and ultimately self-destructive, he attempts to destroy the Apache chief Cochise after luring him across the border from Mexico, against the advice of his subordinates.
