The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

In a gritty, black-and-white Western drama, John Wayne and James Stewart star as two men who find themselves on opposite sides of the law in a small frontier town. Their paths cross when Tom Doniphon, a rugged rancher played by Lee Marvin, becomes a thorn in the side of the powerful but ruthless outlaw Liberty Valance, who terrorizes the town with violence. As the story unfolds through a series of flashbacks, we see how the legend of Tom Doniphon and the man who shot Liberty Valance was born, revealing a complex web of power dynamics and myth-making that questions what it means to be a hero in America's Wild West.
