About Rio Bravo (1959)
This classic western directed by Howard Hawks features an all-star cast, including the legendary John Wayne.

There's a showdown at Rio Bravo when courageous Sheriff John T. Chance (Wayne) throws the brother of evil cattle baron Nathan Burdette in jail for murder (the Burdette brothers played by John Russell and Claude Akins).

When Burdette's men lay seige to his jailhouse, Chance holds on until the arrival of a U.S. Marshal with the help of his drunken deputy, Dude (Dean Martin), cranky old man Stumpy (Walter Brennan), a young gunfighter (Ricky Nelson) and the beautiful long-legged Feathers (Angie Dickinson).

This is my favorite Western.
Every boy should watch John Wayne movies with his dad.

Rio Bravo is one of the greatest Westerns ever and John Wayne/Howard Hawks(director) at their best. Not to mention Dean Martin in one his best roles as well.

My late father's favourite film. He watched it over and over again. Epic.

I'm 80 years old and the Duke was one of my Heros when I was growing up. I still love his movies

[stephenrice]

Dean Martin, John Wayne, Ricky fitted right in and the ever reliable Walter Brennan, great western

[joshuabrooks]

Walter Brennan was laugh-out-loud funny as Stumpy.

I used to watch this with my dad all the time on VHS. We would drink cans of Mountain Dew and eat fried egg sandwiches with mayonnaise. I miss you dad.❤😢

[johnburnett]

My dad loved John Wayne because he was always the "good guy" but he also told me that the principle of Wayne was Family, country and God. This made the man I am today.

Rio Bravo is my all time favourite western

[ezzz]

his friends dont abandon him, a true test of ones character to how they treat people, give and show respect and true friendship.

Now days, we need more men like John Wayne...love him!

[jaroflies]

Does anyone else remember when TBS was THE station for classic movies, AND every once in a while they would have a John Wayne movie marathon lasting a couple of days? I think it was in the early 90’s. Those were the days!

[dawnbaker]

Walter Brennan's cackle is priceless.😂

[stephenmcavoy]

Greatest Western film there is in my opinion. Excellent cast, good story. Paced action. The battle of good and bad.

[javiervarela]

I've watched all 3 Wayne westerns & still never tire of 'em. Angie Dickenson in those dark tights a sheer delight!

[yabbadabbadoo]

Angie Dickinson an absolute stunner in this.
Love Stumpy!

John wayne will always be an american hero.In classic movies.
This is the way movies should be made.

"Took ya two."
I will always remember that line from when I was a kid.

Im 75 and it is now that this western means more to me than 20 years ago. It isn't about great acting it is like watching an old move with your family acting in it. Ozzie and Harriet, the real Mc Coys with John Wayne in a great performance.
