About The Bushwhackers
Confederate veteran Jeff Waring arrives in Independence, Missouri shortly after the Civil War, intending never again to use a gun. He finds that rancher Artemus Taylor and his henchmen are forcing out the settlers in order to claim their land for the incoming railroad.
Directed by Rod Amateau, The Bushwhackers leans on a strong ensemble — John Ireland, Wayne Morris, Lawrence Tierney — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1951.
