John Wayne returned to the role that won him an Oscar in this sequel to the
western classic
True Grit.
Rooster Cogburn (
Wayne) has once again been stripped of his badge after some questionable behavior with his gun, but he's given the chance to earn it back after an especially appalling crime demands an experienced lawman. A gang of violent and ruthless criminals, led by
Hawk (
Richard Jordan) and
Breed (
Anthony Zerbe), have stolen a shipment of explosive nitroglycerine and cut a swath through a village led by a preacher and his flock. The preacher died, along with many others, and his daughter,
Eula Goodnight (
Katharine Hepburn), is determined that the outlaws will be brought to justice.
Cogburn is given the task of tracking down the criminals, but he's less than enthusiastic about the fact
Goodnight insists on tagging along.
Rooster Cogburn marked the first (and last) time
John Wayne and
Katharine Hepburn would work together on screen; it was also the final film from noted producer
Hal Wallis.
