The story of Sergeant Rutledge, a 9th Cavalry officer on trial for rape and murder. Lt. Cantrell defends Rutledge as witnesses give testimony (relived in flashbacks) revealing the sergeant's gallantry, and the shocking truth behind the alleged crimes. Ford, who attacked racism in The Searchers, explores similar territory in this landmark Western, the power of which still rings out with uncommon force decades later
