Introduction by film historian Philip Harwood
In John Ford’s legendary epic western, John Wayne stars as Ethan Edwards, an ex-Confederate who sets out to find his niece, captured by a group of Comanches who massacred his family. He won’t surrender to hunger, thirst, the elements, or loneliness. And in his obsessive quest, Ethan finds something unexpected: his own humanity. With The Searchers, John Ford, cinema’s poet of the Wild West, crafted a mesmerizing frontier sage, full of mystery, that is today considered his greatest achievement and pinnacle of the western genre. (1956, 119 mins)
