This action-filled western stars John Wayne as Big Jake McCandles, a husband who hasn’t seen his wife (Maureen O'Hara) in over 9 years. But he returns home after his grandson is kidnapped by a vicious outlaw gang. While the law gives chase in rickety automobiles, Jake saddles up with an Indian scout (Bruce Cabot) and a box of money - even though paying a ransom isn’t how Jake plans to exact good old frontier justice. Spiced with humor and first-class gunfights, this is a vivid depiction of the last days of the wild frontier. (Paramount Home Entertainment)

A somewhat classic story from the end of Dukov's career. He is already an aging cowboy who somewhat passes the torch to others, younger ones. Here he meets his sons to fulfill a task for his former wife and seek revenge on a few people. It's an adventure where the father and sons bond, and the best moments are when the father clearly shows whose hand is stronger. John Wayne is simply great in the comedic role, but he still remains a tough guy and you simply believe him. I simply adore that man, even though the story itself is not a great Western peak.
