  • John Ford's first film in the Cavalry Trilogy, starring John Wayne, Henry Fonda and Shirley Temple. While out riding, Philadelphia Thursday (Shirley Temple) witnesses burned bodies. Colonel Thursday (Henry Fonda) and Captain Kirby York (John Wayne) discuss the possibility of the culprits. It seems to be the work of Chief Diablo's Band.

    About Fort Apache (Theatrical Release - March 9, 1948):
    The soldiers at Fort Apache may disagree with the tactics of their glory-seeking new commander. But to a man, they're duty-bound to obey-even when it means almost certain disaster.
    John Wayne, Henry Fonda and many familiar supporting players from master director John Ford's "stock company" saddle up for the first film in the director's famed cavalry trilogy (She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and Rio Grande are the others). Roughhouse camaraderie, sentimental vignettes of frontier life, massive action sequences staged in Monument Valley-all are part of Fort Apache. So is Ford's exploration of the West's darker side.
    Themes of justice, heroism and honor that Ford would revisit in later Westerns are given rein in this moving, thought-provoking film that, even as it salutes a legend, gives reasons to question it.

    This is one of the greatest westerns ever made. The score is 100% on Rotton Tomatoes. I'm a big John Wayne fan and this is one of my favorite roles he did playing Captain York who knows the Apache real well. Director John Ford and actor John Wayne did so many amazing films together.

    Fort Apache is one of the most nuanced portrayals of the Settler-Indian conflicts in the Western genre, understanding the plight of those in the conflict. Henry Fonda and John Wayne were excellent in their roles.
    To me, this is one of John Ford's finest films overall. A masterpiece.

      I think this movie was partly based on the 7th Cavalry and General Custer.

      Best of the trio
      The other two weren't so well done especially the yellow ribbon ...colour doesnt guarantee a better script
      And it glorified custer too much not explaining his folly!

      But the entire film is far too rare. I have not seen it from beginning to end in three years. Bits and pieces of it, yes. But never the entire film. It is my belief that it may have fallen out of "style" with some of the political aspects of today. The other two films of the three are common enough, But Fort Apache seems to have been handed a warm bowl of "Film forget" stew.

    Duke and Henry Fonda were excellent here I’ve always felt this was a somewhat underrated movie compared to many of the two’s more famous and well known films.

      Actually she was already married to Agar since they got married back in 1945. In 1948 she gave birth to their daughter. In two years they would be divorced since it seems Agar had issues with drinking. But in that same year she married her second husband and they stayed married for the next 55 years until his death.

    Among the top five Westerns of all time. Perhaps John Wayne's finest performance.

      I do agree. However, John Wayne´s performance in "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" is also magnificent, particularly the scene when is given a silver watch by his men at the farewell parade.

    This is one of my favorite John Wayne movie. It may be the only movie where someone else gets to push him around. Thank you Henry Fonda.
    Henry Fonda and John Wayne would reunite for IN HARM'S WAY. Again, Fonda plays Wayne's superior.
    Did you know John Wayne always made a point to play Union cavalry officer, which explains why the yanks always won.
    FORT APACHE.
    THE HORSE SOLDIERS.
    ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST.
