The Tall Men

Directed by Raoul Walsh • 1955 • United States
Starring Clark Gable, Jane Russell, Robert Ryan

Stunning CinemaScope landscapes, a dynamite cast, and the vigorous direction of Raoul Walsh come together in this gripping portrayal of an epic cattle drive. En route to the gold fields of Montana, Ben Allison (Clark Gable) and his brother Clint (Cameron Mitchell) meet up with Nathan Stark (Robert Ryan), who proposes an opportunity for great wealth. Naming Ben as his trail boss, Stark enlists him to drive 4,000 head of cattle 1,500 miles from San Antonio to Montana. Along the way, Ben rescues the feisty Nella Turner (Jane Russell) from a Sioux attack—setting the stage for a love triangle as tensions simmer between Stark and the Allison brothers over the course of the treacherous journey.
