Forty Guns

Tougher-than-nails landowner Jessica Drummond (Barbara Stanwyck) has ruled over her county in Arizona with such power that even the local sheriff (Dean Jagger) won´t stand up to her. And when gunslinger-turner-U.S. Marshall Griff Bonnell (Barry Sullivan) and his brothers seek to restore law and order, they meet with harsh resistance - that is until Jessica falls in love with Bonnell. But when the man´s brother is murdered and the two families become bitter enemies, Jessica´s loyalty is divided, and Bonnell faces his biggest moral dilemma: how to avenge his brother´s death and still maintain his vow of non-violence.
