Plot summary
Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn is an aging one-eyed U.S. Marshal in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Judge Parker suspends his badge over his drinking and his record of arrests that end in bloodshed. When the bank robber Hawk and his gang steal a shipment of nitroglycerin from an Army cavalry troop, Cogburn is offered a chance to redeem himself, and he rides alone into the Indian Territory after them. Eula Goodnight, whose father the gang killed, and Wolf, one of her students, join him on the hunt.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn were born two weeks apart in May 1907 and their careers ran side by side for decades, yet this was the only film in which the two ever appeared together.
