Winchester '73

As the story starts Lin McAdam (Jimmie Stewart) and his sidekick Spade (Millard Mitchell) are chasing an outlaw named Dutch Henry (Stephen McNall). They end up in Dodge City, where the Sheriff (Will Geer) says they can't do anything to get Dutch unless he surrenders to them voluntarily, so they're stuck until they enter a shooting contest in which the prize is a Winchester rifle, and both Lynn and Dutch Henry enter the contest. Lin wins, but Dutch Henry steals it and takes off, so the chase is on again. Over the course of the rest of the story Lin tracks down Dutch by finding out what happened to the rifle, which is a very special, one-in-a-thousand “perfect shooter”, as more people he encounters remember the rifle rather than Dutch Henry. At one point an Indian, Young Bull(Rock Hudson) takes the rifle from Dutch Henry, but Dutch gets it back. Eventually Lin finds Dutch and discovers he's his long lost brother, and is faced with a tough decision about what to do.
