Overview

One unlikely partnership.
One impossible mission.
One amazing adventure!
In a role that fits him "like a rancher into an old saddle" (The Film Daily), Oscar®-winning* legend John Wayne "stirs up big dust" (Los Angeles Times) in this "good old-fashioned, action-packed Western" (L.A. Examiner)*. Directed by Oscar® Winner** Michael Curtiz (Casablanca), written by James Edward Grant and Clair Huffaker, and costarring Oscar® Nominee*** Stuart Whitman, The Comancheros is "a picture that absolutely has not one dull moment" (The Film Daily)!

Captain Jake Cutter (Wayne) is a fearless Texas Ranger determined to bring down a violent gang of outlaws selling rifles to enemy natives. In the thick of his hunt, he's thrust into an uneasy alliance with Paul Regret (Whitman), a gambler wanted for murder in New Orleans. The deeper into the mission they get, the less they see eye-to-eye. But when they're captured, the unlikely partners quickly realize they must find common ground if they're going to stay alive!
