Winchester '73 (1950) Synopsis

James Stewart, Shelley Winters, Dan Duryea and Rock Hudson light up the screen in this timeless portrayal of the Wild West and the heroes who tamed it. Stewart plays Lin McAdam, a frontiersman who wins a Winchester rifle in a marksmanship contest. When the prize is stolen, he doggedly pursues it as it passes among a motley group of characters-including a crazed highwayman, a corrupt gunrunner, a savage young Indian chief and even his own dangerous brother-until the final, rousing shoot-out. Also featuring Tony Curtis in one of his first screen performances, Winchester '73 remains one of the western genre's most enduring classics.
