The Way West (1967)
Halverwege de 19e eeuw leidt senator William J. Tadlock een groep kolonisten over land in een zoektocht naar een nieuwe nederzetting in het westen van de VS. Tadlock is een zeer principiële en veeleisende taakmeester die net zo streng is voor zichzelf als voor degenen die zich bij zijn wagentrein hebben aangesloten. Hij komt in botsing met een van de nieuwe kolonisten, Lije Evans, die de manieren van Tadlock niet helemaal op prijs stelt. Onderweg worden de families geconfronteerd met dood, liefdesverdriet en een staaltje grensrecht wanneer een van hen per ongeluk een jonge Indiase jongen vermoordt.
