The Big Country (1958)

Directed by William Wyler. The film stars Gregory Peck as James McKay, a former sea captain who moves to the American West to marry his fiancée, Patricia Terrill (Carroll Baker). Upon arriving, McKay becomes embroiled in a bitter feud between Patricia's wealthy, domineering father, Major Henry Terrill (Charles Bickford), and the rough, stubborn rancher Rufus Hannassey (Burl Ives). McKay's peaceful and principled demeanor clashes with the violent, lawless frontier mentality, as he navigates the complex dynamics of land, power, and honor.
