Description of this John Wayne Poster
Chisum is a 1970 American western film directed by Andrew McLaglen, starring John Wayne, and adapted for the screen by Andrew J. Fenady from his short story “Chisum and the Lincoln County War”. The main cast is Forrest Tucker, Christopher George, Ben Johnson, Glenn Corbett, Andrew Prine, Bruce Cabot, Patric Knowles, Richard Jaeckel, Lynda Day George, Pedro Armendariz Jr, John Agar, John Mitchum, Ray Teal, Christopher Mitchum, and Hank Worden, with Geoffrey Deuel and Pamela McMyler credited as “anchormen”. The film was shot in Panavision and Technicolor.
Chisum is based on the Lincoln County War of 1878, and while several details were changed, many of the historical figures in the film (such as Chisum, Tunstall, McSween, Murphy, Brady, Evans, Garrett, and Billy the Kid) were in the New Mexico Territory at the time and played a role in the conflict.
In Lincoln County, New Mexico, John Chisum, a benevolent and prosperous cattle baron, finds his peace threatened when the amoral Lawrence Murphy and his partner James Dolan forcibly buy up most of the land and businesses in the area. At first, Chisum tries not to get involved, although he allows the ranchers driven out by Murphy to water their herds on his land.
Bribed by Murphy, the corrupt Sheriff Brady secretly hires Neemo and his band of bandits, who kill two of Chisum’s men and steal a herd of horses. Chisum and his men pursue the rustlers, recover the horses, and discover the American money in the Mexican outlaw’s pocket. They are aided by Billy “The Kid” Bonney, a notorious hitman who has just been hired and given a chance to reform by John Henry Tunstall, Chisum’s philanthropic British neighbor.
Chisum’s niece, Sallie, arrives in Lincoln to live with her uncle, and Billy begins courting her. Alexander McSween, invited by Murphy to become his lawyer, arrives with his wife, Sue, in the same stagecoach. During Sallie’s welcome-back party, Murphy sends Jess Evans and his gang to steal Chisum’s cattle, which are taken to the U.S. Army to feed Native Americans on a nearby reservation. A wandering Pat Garrett warns Chisum’s men of the approaching horsemen; during the ensuing gunfight, one of Chisum’s wranglers dies, and the cows run away. Chisum sends Judge J.B. Wilson to try Murphy’s men for murder, but the damage is done, and the army begins buying its cattle from Murphy. McSween, disliking Murphy’s methods, switches sides. McSween, Tunstall, and Chisum open a new store and bank to combat Murphy’s monopoly. Billy, Garrett, and several of Chisum’s men travel to Santa Fe to get supplies. Billy is nearly killed when Murphy has Evans attack the wagon train on its way back to Lincoln; in response, Tunstall decides to go to Santa Fe to ask Governor Axtell to intervene in the Land War. Deputies Morton and Baker stop Tunstall on the road, falsely accuse him of cattle rustling, shoot him dead, and plant a rifle to make it appear that Tunstall drew first. Judge Wilson arrives in Lincoln during Tunstall’s funeral. When Brady refuses to pursue his own men, Wilson sends Deputies Chisum and Garrett, who track and capture the fugitive deputies in a nearby town. On the way back, Chisum splits off from the group to seek out the judge. Billy, eager for revenge against his friend and mentor, and skeptical that justice will ever be served in Lincoln, knocks Garrett unconscious and kills Morton and Baker. He then goes to town and publicly murders Brady before fleeing. Murphy convinces Governor Axtell to dismiss Judge Wilson and appoint bounty hunter Dan Nodeen, who harbors a long-standing grudge against Billy, as sheriff.
As a large posse scours the countryside for Billy, he gathers his allies, starting with two of Tunstall’s wranglers, Charlie Bowdre and Tom O’Folliard. They enter McSween’s store to obtain dynamite to rob Murphy’s bank, but Nodeen notices them inside, and a long gunfight ensues between Murphy’s men and Billy’s. McSween, unarmed and unwilling to take part in the battle, asks that he and his wife leave, but only Sue is allowed to do so. When the shooting resumes, she runs away to find Chisum. Murphy then orders his men to erect barricades in the town streets. McSween goes out to negotiate with Murphy, and Nodeen shoots him dead in cold blood.
Chisum and his men arrive in Lincoln, driving Murphy’s cattle ahead of them to breach the barricades. Murphy’s men are defeated, with Billy personally pursuing Evans and killing him. Chisum fights with Murphy, and both men fall from a balcony. Murphy is impaled on a decorative bull horn he was using as a weapon. Nodeen, whose treasurer is dead, leaves town, pursued by Billy.
Garret and Sallie begin a relationship. He is appointed sheriff of Lincoln County, and the next territorial governor, Lew Wallace, declares amnesty for those who participated in the Land War. With peace restored, Chisum climbs a hill to survey his land.
