About this release
Considerato uno dei migliori del suo genere, il classico diretto da John Ford che vede protagonisti James Stewart e John Wayne celebra il suo 60° anniversario debuttando nel formato Ultra HD. Un giovane avvocato, Ransom Stoddard, diventa senatore degli Stati Uniti. Intervistato da un giornalista, rivela la realtà sul leggendario scontro di Shinbone con il temuto fuorilegge Liberty Valance, avvenuto nell'Ovest alla fine dell'Ottocento. Ma il vero protagonista della vicenda è Tom Doniphon, un valoroso pioniere del luogo, legato allo stile di vita del vecchio West: ottenere giustizia non con le leggi scritte, ma con il semplice ed efficace potere di una pistola. Sarà lui a cercare di far sopravvivere il fragile avvocato di città, salvandogli più volte la vita, insegnandogli a sparare, e consegnandogli le chiavi di un mondo destinato a cambiare.

Western
Questions arise when Senator Stoddard attends the funeral of a local man named Tom Doniphon in a small Western town. Flashing back, we learn Doniphon saved Stoddard, then a lawyer, when he was roughed up by a crew of outlaws terrorizing the town, led by Liberty Valance. As the territory's safety hung in the balance, Doniphon and Stoddard, two of the only people standing up to him, proved to be very important, but different, foes to Valance.
