Red River plot
"A tempestuous cattle drive across 1000 dangerous miles of Texas landscape."
The tyrannical Thomas Dunson, who owns a large ranch, transports livestock through an area fraught with danger. He has not only to do with the dry weather conditions, Indians and cattle thieves. Dunson also has to put up with his adopted son, Matthew, who doesn't always agree with his foster father. Dunson also pushes his hired men to the limit due to his tough attitude. Matthew eventually rebels against Dunson's bossy behavior and joins a rival group of drovers.
