The Last Wagon (1956)

The Last Wagon is a 1956 American CinemaScope western film starring Richard Widmark. It was co-written and directed by Delmer Daves and tells a story set during the American Indian Wars: the survivors of an Indian massacre must rely on a man wanted for several murders to lead them out of danger.

Sheriff Bull Harper (George Mathews) has captured “Comanche” Todd (Richard Widmark), a white man who has lived most of his life among Comanche Indians, and is taking him to be tried for the murder of Harper’s three brothers. The pair join a wagon train led by Colonel Normand (Douglas Kennedy). However, Harper’s brutal treatment of Todd causes friction with some members of the wagon train.
