Hondo - Special Collector's Edition

Apache war drums sound an ominous warning for an isolated female rancher and her young son in this exciting and memorable JOHN WAYNE classic.

Angie, determinedly awaiting the return of her brutish husband (LEO GORDON), refuses to leave their homestead despite the growing danger from nearby warring Native American tribes. And she finds herself growing more and more enthralled with this stranger, Hondo - a man hardened by experience but still capable of sympathy, kindness and love. WARD BOND, MICHAEL PATE, JAMES ARNESS and RODOLFO ACOSTA co-star; Page received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in this, one of her first film roles. (1953)
