Plot: John Wayne toplines this biography of the cattle owner John Simpson Chisum, a controversial figure who was the most powerful man in New Mexico during the Wild West era. A founder and prominent citizen in the town of Lincoln, Chisum is slow to act when ruthless land baron Lawrence Murphy (Forrest Tucker) moves in on several local businesses and takes them over. By the time Chisum and his ally, fellow rancher Henry Tunstall (Patrick Knowles), decide to go to the law, Murphy's already bought and paid for influence there, as well. The only recourse left to the cattlemen is to take Murphy on in all-out range war that embroils everyone in the county, including Tunstall's hand Billy the Kid Bonney (Geoffrey Deuel) and his comrade Pat Garrett (Glenn Corbett). Screenwriter and producer Andrew J. Fenady based the script for Chisum (1970) on his own short story, a very loosely fact-based account of Chisum, Billy the Kid and their involvement in the Lincoln County wars. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

John Wayne and Billy the Kid???
Added 1/30/2010

Chisum is another John Wayne classic. Like all of Wayne's characters, Mr. Chisum is a tough, rough, rugged, no nonesense, strong character. We will never have another movie hero like John Wayne. Did Billy Boner or Billy the Kid really work on a ranch? Did he really have a close relationship with an Englishman? When watching Westerns, it is interesting to view how history has been re-written or otherwise modified to accommodate a story line. Myth, legend or fact?? Personally, it does not matter to me. The creativity is characteristic that makes Westerns so enjoyable and entertaining. The quality of the video is theater perfect. Great addition to my collection.

I tried to order this movie through my local video store and it would take 2 weeks since it is an outdated movie. I was introduced to Amazon and was pleasantly surprized. The purchase was not only cheaper but was delivered to my house in half the time the local store was to be able to. I recommend not only this purchase but Amazon itself. Sharon Bell
