[edit] Plot
The action takes place in Texas in the period following the Civil War.
Rio (Robert Taylor), a gunman, in league with Mexican bandit Jose Esqueda (Anthony Quinn), participates in the sacking of Brownsville and terrorises settlers to prevent them from occupying the region. The only man with the courage to stand up to them is King Cameron (Howard Keel) who has already been burned out of one home by Esqueda and does not intend to let it happen again. Cameron's wife Cordelia (Ava Gardner) stands by her husband, but Rio sets his romantic sights on her. Thanks to her beauty, Rio is won over to Cameron's cause and allies himself with the settlers. The ensuing rift between him and Esqueda comes to a head in their final confrontation in the town saloon.
