Les Quatre Fils de Katie Elder (1965)
À Clearwater, au Texas, les quatre fils de Katie Elder se retrouvent pour les funérailles de leur mère. Ils découvrent que celle-ci vivait dans la pauvreté et que leur père, assassiné, avait perdu aux cartes le ranch familial, au profit de Morgan Hastings. Les trois plus âgés des Elder ont la gâchette facile, surtout l'aîné John, recherché par la loi. Le cadet, Bud, voudrait suivre leur "exemple", alors que sa mère aurait souhaité qu'il fasse des études. Les circonstances de la cession du ranch familial restant obscures et Hastings ayant embauché un homme de main, Curley, pour éliminer John, l'affrontement devient inévitable...
