Synopsis

Retired marshal Bert McGraw tries to give up his gun-slinging ways, but is forced to wear his holster one last time to defend the family ranch against the encroaching railroad and its gang of cutthroats led by the notorious Sanchez.

A tale of redemption as big as the Old West itself, Rio Hondo is a sendup of the good-ol’ fashioned Westerns you grew up loving.

Utilizing Western tropes to investigate the struggle between the needs of the individual and those of the community in a rapidly changing country, this laugh-a-minute comedy will have audiences rollin’ in the aisles.
