The Searchers
A Confederate veteran rides back to his brother's Texas homestead three years after the war, and a Comanche raid leaves him hunting a niece taken alive. The search runs seven years across the territory, with a young mixed-race relative alongside him who begins to suspect what his uncle intends when he finds her. The western turned on its own hatred.
