Rio Bravo

Rio Bravo is a 1959 American Western film directed and produced by the late Howard Hawks and starring the late John Wayne, the late Dean Martin, the late Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson, the late Walter Brennan, and the late Ward Bond. Written by the late Jules Furthman and the late Leigh Brackett, based on the short story "Rio Bravo" by the late B. H. McCampbell.

When gunslinger Joe Burdette (Claude Akins) kills a man in a saloon, Sheriff John T. Chance (John Wayne) arrests him with the aid of the town drunk, Dude (Dean Martin). Before long, Burdette's brother, Nathan (John Russell), comes around, indicating that he's prepared to bust his brother out of jail if necessary. Chance decides to make a stand until reinforcements arrive, enlisting Dude, an old cripple named Stumpy (Walter Brennan) and baby-faced cowboy Colorado Ryan (Ricky Nelson) to help.
