Der schwarze Falke (1956)
Der notorische Einzelgänger Ethan Edwards findet nach Jahren im Bürgerkrieg bei seiner Rückkehr auf die heimische Ranch Bruder und Schwägerin von den Comanchen des Schwarzen Falken dahingemordet vor. In blindem Hass, begleitet nur von seinem ungeliebten Neffen Martin, begibt er sich auf einen fünf Jahre währenden Rachefeldzug, von dem er sich nicht zuletzt ein Wiedersehen mit der beim Indianerüberfall entführten Nichte Debbie erhofft. Auf der abenteuerlichen Odyssee kommen sich Ethan und Martin langsam näher. Als der Einzelgänger Ethan Edwards seine von Indianern entführte Nichte nach über zehn Jahren Suche wiederfindet, muß er feststellen, daß sie selbst eine Rothaut geworden ist. Western-Epos mit einem großartigen John Wayne.
