She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

John Ford's new and finest picture of the fighting cavalry!

A classical Western cavalry drama centered on duty, aging, and honor, set against Monument Valley's majestic landscape, where a retiring officer's final mission tests both his competence and his heart.

On the eve of retirement, Captain Nathan Brittles takes out a last patrol to stop an impending massive Indian attack. Encumbered by women who must be evacuated, Brittles finds his mission imperiled.
