An improbable collection of archetypal characters travel by stagecoach from Tonto to Lordsburg in what amounts to a mythic journey through the epic landscape of Monument Valley. Although the film rescued John Wayne from the matinee western, the emphasis is on the group. Ford alternates moments of emotional intimacy with epic symbolism. Located at the watershed between the classic and the modern western, its reputation is inextricably mixed up with its influence
