War Wagon, The (Blu-ray)

Brand New HD Master – From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative! When the War Wagon rolls…the screen explodes! Two cinematic legends, John Wayne and Kirk Douglas, team up to seize a small fortune in gold in this ’60s Western classic chock-full of blazing action and humor. In a rare anti-hero role, Wayne (The Horse Soldiers) plays Taw Jackson, a range-hardened rancher hell-bent on capturing the infamous War Wagon—an ironclad stagecoach protected by a small army of baddies (featuring Bruce Dern) and owned by a thieving cattle baron (Bruce Cabot) who robbed Taw of his gold and good name years before. To get even, Jackson recruits the brash gunslinger Lomax (Douglas, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral) and a raucous crew of misfits (Keenan Wynn, Howard Keel and Robert Walker Jr.) to pull off an impossible heist for half a million dollars in gold bullion. The War Wagon offers a rousing tale of Old West vengeance, courtesy of director Burt Kennedy (Support Your Local Sheriff), writer Clair Huffaker (The Comancheros), cinematographer William H. Clothier (The Alamo) and composer Dimitri Tiomkin (High Noon).
