"No matter where people go, sooner or later, there's the law."

McLaglen's western showcases Wayne as John Simpson Chisum, an historical figure who was the largest owner of land, of horses and cattle in New Mexico territory around 1878 The Pecos River runs through the middle of his land He lets the water flow to all the ranches, big and small If another man, with more appetitelike Lawrence Murphy (Forrest Tucker) owned that land he'd control a territory bigger than most states and some countries The story is based on the bloody Lincoln County cattle war

Things come to 'one hell of a fight' when Murphy's men kill Chisum's friend Henry Tunstall, mentor to Billy the Kid, and have Alex McSween, manager of their general store, with Billy and some men, trapped in

Forrest Tucker plays Chisum's enemy who really thinks himself skillful enough to 'own' the law

Christopher George (Dan Nodeen) plays the half-crazy bounty hunter who gimps because of Billy the Kid

Ben Johnson has one of the most impressive records of any supporting Westerner He came here to support Chisum all the way

Andrew V. McLaglen has built up a reputation as one of the most promising of post-war directors of Westerns, but has yet to fulfill that promise with a really major work

Trivia
John Wayne was very disappointed that his stunt double was so obvious in the final fight with Forrest Tucker.

Citas
James Pepper: You know, there's an old saying, Miss Sally. There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum?
John Simpson Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.
