Stagecoach

ActionAdventureDramaWestern96 min

An assorted group of travelers boards a stagecoach across Arizona, only to find the journey tightening under the threat of Geronimo and the dangers of open desert. John Wayne is the Ringo Kid, a fugitive outlaw who joins the coach en route, while Claire Trevor is among the passengers forced into close quarters with a drunken doctor, a gambler, and other outcasts and social elites. As the road grows more dangerous, the film keeps its attention on the shifting alliances inside the coach as much as the threats and shootouts outside.
