Der Weg nach Westen (1967)
Missouri 1843. Ein von William Tadlock geführte Treck macht sich auf den Weg in ein neues Siedlungsgebiet im 2.500 Kilometer entfernten Oregon. Um diese gefährliche Route durch scheinbar unüberwindbare Wüsten, Canyons und Indianergebiete zu meistern, wird der erfahrene Treckführer Dick Summers angeheuert. Er und die Siedler geraten immer häufiger in Konflikt mit William Tadlock, der brutal wie besessen den Treck durch die endlose Wildnis nach Westen treibt. Besonders Lije Evans stellt sich ihm entgegen und eine Eskalation der Situation mit allen Konsequenzen wird unvermeidbar.
