Il cavallo d'acciaio (1925)
Un ingegnere che sogna di costruire ferrovie viene assassinato, nel 1853, da un bandito bianco travestito da indiano. Dieci anni dopo, nel 1862 Abraham Lincoln dà il via alla costruzione della ferrovia. Davy Brandon (George O' Brien), il figlio dell'ingegnere ucciso, si unisce all'impresa nel tentativo di vendicare il padre, riuscendo a respingere, assieme agli operai coalizzati (italiani, irlandesi, giapponesi...), l'attacco degli indiani che vi si oppongono. E' così che le locomotive possono cominciare la traversata del West.
