Description of this Rio Bravo Poster
Rio Bravo is a 1959 American Western film directed and produced by Howard Hawks and starring John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson, Walter Brennan and Ward Bond. Written by Jules Furthman and Leigh Brackett, based on the short story "Rio Bravo" by BH McCampbell, the film stars Wayne as a Texas sheriff who arrests the brother of a powerful local rancher for murder and must then hold the man in jail until a U.S. marshal can arrive. With the help of a cripple, a drunk and a young gunman, they hold off the rancher's gang. Rio Bravo was filmed on location at Old Tucson Studios outside Tucson, Arizona, in Technicolor.
In 2014, Rio Bravo was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
Joe Burdette, the spoiled younger brother of wealthy land baron Nathan Burdette, taunts the town drunk Dude by throwing money into a spoon. The sheriff, John T. Chance, stops Dude from reaching the spittoon, prompting Dude to lash out and knock Chance out. Joe begins beating Dude for fun, shooting and killing an unarmed bystander who tries to stop him. Chance recovers, follows Joe to Nathan's personal living room and, with the help of a penitent dude, overcomes Nathan's men and arrests Joe for murder.
Chance's friend Pat Wheeler attempts to enter town with a wagonload of supplies and dynamite, but must fight his way through Nathan Burdette's men. Chance reveals that he, Dude (who was a deputy before he became a drunk), and his crippled former deputy Stumpy are all that stand between Nathan and Joe's small army, which they wish to free. Chance notices young gunslinger Colorado Ryan in Wheeler's wagon train, but Colorado promises he doesn't want to cause trouble.
That night, Carlos Robante, the owner of the local hotel, alerts Chance that Wheeler is trying to recruit fighters. Chance tries to stop Wheeler, not wanting anyone to get hurt because of him. Wheeler asks if Colorado could help, but Colorado declines, believing it's not his fight. Chance then notices a rigged card game at the hotel. Recognizing one of the players as a wanted woman, "Feathers", the widow of a cheating player, he confronts her. However, Colorado reveals that another player is the cheater.
In the street, Wheeler is shot dead. Chance and Dude pursue the killer into Nathan's living room, and Chance allows Dude to prove himself and confront the killer, earning the respect of Nathan's men. Colorado and the rest of Wheeler's men are forced to remain in town to await a court order releasing Wheeler's property, and the wagons are left behind the Burdette warehouse. After Feathers secretly stays up all night with a shotgun to guard Chance, an irritated Chance orders Feathers to leave town for his safety. She refuses and the two begin to bond.
Nathan himself rides into town. Stumpy, having old grudges against Nathan for taking his land, threatens to shoot Joe if trouble starts around the prison. In response, Nathan has his lounge musicians repeatedly play "El Degüello", aka. “The cutthroat song”. Colorado realizes that the song means that Nathan will show no mercy and warns Chance.
Chance gives Dude his old guns and some clothes and a black hat he left behind when he became a drunk, and Dude shaves, trying to start over. Unfortunately, Stumpy doesn't recognize Dude when he returns and shoots him, breaking Dude's nerves. The next day, Dude is still shaking and finds himself ambushed by Burdette's men, who threaten to kill him unless Chance lets Joe go. Colorado and the Feathers distract the men long enough for Chance to get his rifle, and he and Colorado shoot the men and free Dude. Dude thinks about quitting and letting Colorado take his place, but when he hears "El Degüello" being played, he decides to see it through to the end.
Dude and Chance return to the hotel so Dude can take a bath, but Burdette's men capture Carlos Consuelo's wife and use her to lure Chance into a trap. Dude tells Chance to take the men to jail, under the pretense that Stumpy would let Joe out. However, Stumpy opens fire, as Dude secretly predicted. In the chaos, some men drag Dude to Nathan, who demands a trade - Dude for Joe. Chance agrees, but brings Colorado as a backup. Dude and Joe scuffle during the trade, and a gunfight ensues. Stumpy throws sticks of dynamite from the boxcars into the warehouse where Burdette and his men are holed up, and Chance blasts them with his rifle, abruptly ending the fight.
With the Burdettes and their few surviving gunmen in prison, Chance is finally able to spend time with Feathers and admit his feelings for her. Colorado volunteers to guard the prison, allowing Stumpy and Dude to have a night out on the town.
