About This Movie

Fort Apache is a 1948 western film directed by John Ford. Its leading cast includes John Wayne, Henry Fonda and Shirley Temple. It runs for 2 hours 8 minutes.

Synopsis

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.
