Bruce Dern, Colleen Dewhurst, Robert Carradine and Slim Pickens join John Wayne in this classic and beloved Western. Just as Montana rancher, Wil Anderson is preparing for a 400-mile cattle drive, his veteran crew of dependable cowboys quit to go try their luck digging for gold. Anderson recruits a group of greenhorn schoolboys for the grueling drive and goes about training them to do the work of grown men, as cowhands—with his usual gruff, tough-love way.
