Wealthy rancher Bick Benedict and dirt-poor cowboy Jett Rink both woo Leslie Lynnton, a beautiful young woman from Maryland who is new to Texas. She marries Benedict, but she is shocked by the racial bigotry of the White Texans against the local people of Mexican descent. Rink discovers oil on a small plot of land, and while he uses his vast, new wealth to buy all the land surrounding the Benedict ranch, the Benedict's disagreement over prejudice fuels conflict that runs across generations.

"A fantastically well acted epic film spanning generations of the same family on a Texas Ranch. The performances are excellent, with an all-star cast. I enjoyed watching Rock Hudson's brash personality in conflict with James Dean's quiet but arrogant personality."

"I used to have a “thing” for James Dean when I was a teenager (even though he passed away long before I was even born) & this movie was filmed right here in west Texas (Marfa,TX) 🤠 So I’ve always liked this movie."

"James Dean at his finest!"
Heather Yeagley
"Didn't realize James Dean played a rags to riches oil tycoon. Redemption arc at end that gets into anti-Mexican dynamics. Pretty easy going pave with spikes of tragic parts here and there"

"1 word... James Dean."
