Silver River
WHERE MEN OF IRON SHOOT IT OUT FOR A CITY OF SILVER
Directed by Raoul Walsh
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A classical Western tragedy about ambition and empire-building that corrodes a man's humanity, relationships, and moral foundation.
Unjustly booted out of the cavalry, Mike McComb strikes out for Nevada, and deciding never to be used again, ruthlessly works his way up to becoming one of the most powerful silver magnates in the west. His empire begins to fall apart as the other mining combines rise against him and his stubbornness loses him the support of his wife and old friends.
