Headstrong Thomas Dunson starts a thriving Texas cattle ranch with the help of his faithful trail hand, Groot, and his protégé, Matthew Garth, an orphan Dunson took under his wing when Matt was a boy. In need of money following the Civil War, Dunson and Matt lead a cattle drive to Missouri, where they will get a better price than locally, but the crotchety older man and his willful young partner begin to butt heads on the exhausting journey.
Alex the AnimatorIt was pretty good, not the best ever, but it was a Western and had John Wayne, so that's something. It took me until the end of the movie to figure out that one of the main characters was an older version of the boy at the beginning, but that's probably just me.
