In McLintock (1963), a wealthy cattle baron attempts to "tame" his headstrong wife. In Big Jake (1971), an aging cowboy sets out to rescue his kidnapped grandson from a violent gang. In The shootist (1976), a veteran gunfighter learns that he's dying of stomach cancer. In Rio Lobo (1970), a Union colonel is teamed with two Confederate soldiers to take down a thieving bootlegger. In The sons of Katie Elder (1965), prodigal sons return home to attend the funeral of their murdered mother. And in El Dorado (1967), a crooked landowner hires a gunman to scare a family into selling their land, provoking a standoff with the town sheriff.
