On the Road
(NR) USA – 1 hr 36 min
1939 · d. John Ford
Starring John Wayne, Thomas Mitchell, Claire Trevor, Andy Devine, John Carradine
Escorted by a U.S. Marshal and his outlaw prisoner, the Ringo Kid (John Wayne), a group of strangers—each with their own secrets and agendas—sets out on a dangerous journey through Apache territory. Shot (mostly) on location in the legendary Monument Valley, John Ford’s rollicking adventure made a star out of The Duke and laid the foundation for the western as we know it.
This screening will be presented in conjunction with the film course Cinematic Journeys: The Road Movie in American Culture, taught by Amy Corbin, Ph.D. Seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm. Just want to see the film? Purchase your tickets from this page.
