With courage, sinew and conflict: thats how the West was won.

With three directors, five interlocked stories, some of the most legendary action scenes in movie history and a constellation of acting talent: thats How The West Was Won was filmed.

Henry Fonda, Gregory Peck, Debbie Reynolds, James Stewart, and John Wayne are among the big names in this big-event saga following a dauntless families move West through generations underscored by the spectacles of a heart-pounding raging river ride, a thunderous buffalo stampede, and a bracing runaway train shootout.

The winner of three Academy Awards, How The West Was Won was also a box-office winner.
