The first film in Ford's "Cavalry Trilogy," Fort Apache stars Henry Fonda as a former Civil War officer who arrives at his new outpost seeking renewed glory by waging war on the Apaches.

His arrogance and inexperience in dealing with the Apaches threatens to dismantle the peace brokered by the fort's captain, played by John Wayne. Also with Shirley Temple, Ward Bond, and Victor McGlaglen. (125 mins., 16mm)
