Sinopsis(1)
Tres años después de la finalización de la guerra de Secesión, Ethan Edwards (John Wayne), ex oficial que ha luchado en el ejército confederado, solitario, vengativo y marcado por su extremo odio hacia los indios, vuelve a su querido hogar formado por su hermano Aaron (Walter Coy), su cuñada Martha (Dorothy Jordan), sus dos sobrinas Lucy (Pippa Scott) y Debbie (Lana Wood) y un muchacho medio mestizo llamado Martin (Jeffrey Hunter). Lucy está prometida a un joven muchacho llamado Brad Jorgensen (Harry Carey Jr.), cuya familia vive cerca, mientras que Laurie (Vera Miles), la hermana de Brad, está enamorada de Martin. Una incursión comanche acaba con todos los miembros de la familia, llevándose los indios como botín a sus dos sobrinas. Ethan se lanza en su búsqueda; una búsqueda sangrienta e incansable, que durará diez años. (Movistar+)

An excellent thoroughbred western that combines proven motifs from the golden era of the genre that preceded the rise of Sergio Leone with a timeless tale of unrelenting desire for revenge and the preservation of family honour. Ford directs his masterpiece with meticulous precision and across a vast narrative expanse, from the nostalgic Monument Valley to inhospitable snowy plains, from the humour and array of wacky characters to the cold-blooded doggedness of Wayne Edwards, he manages to serve up an unexpectedly complex, stylishly shot and emotionally varied western experience. There are some flaws, of course, the dialogue is very stilted and the climax completely lacks Leone's unmistakable atmospheric charge, but as a classic of a specific branch of cinema, where (white) justice triumphs and (red) evil falls under a shower of lightning bolts, The Searchers works very well even today. And for anyone who doubts the acting qualities of the legendary John Wayne, this is the film that will completely disabuse them. 80%

John Ford and John Wayne show that it's possible to make a dramatic western, yet one that seamlessly incorporates humorous elements. What's even better is Wayne's character, which isn't his usual standard, as it delves much deeper into darkness. I almost regretted that the script didn't go a bit further, but it's true that Duke couldn't do that to his fans. Still, this is a great western.
