Directed by John Ford and released in 1956, The Searchers is a one of the greatest films ever made by a cinematic master. Following two men, Ethan Edwards and Martin Pawley as they embark on a search for Ethan's only surviving family member, his niece Debbie after she's capturing by Native Americans in a raid that killed her family. A movie with a lot of layers, complexity, and visual beauty, it's one of my favorites and a movie worth experiencing for yourself.
