Starring Claire Trevor and John Wayne — in one of the roles that shaped his image as a Wild West hero — Stagecoach has been described as one of the most important westerns of all time. The film follows a motley group undertaking a dangerous voyage through Native American territory. Their journey is quickly interrupted by Geronimo and his Apache warriors, forcing the passengers to struggle against their attackers, but also against their own prejudices and tensions. A true cinematic accomplishment notable for its critique of contemporary American society — but also for its stereotypical depictions of the Native Americans.
