Fort Apache (1948) — Perfery

(1948)Directed by John Ford128 minWestern

“John Ford's Masterpiece of the Frontier!”

Owen Thursday sees his new posting to the desolate Fort Apache as a chance to claim the military honour which he believes is rightfully his. Arrogant, obsessed with military form and ultimately self-destructive, he attempts to destroy the Apache chief Cochise after luring him across the border from Mexico, against the advice of his subordinates.
