Chisum is a formolaic John Wayne film. Wayne plays Chisum, who has lived in the area for 25 years and built a ranch with hard work, and Lawrence Murphy (Forrest Tucker) who figures he can do better by taking what is Chisum's and controlling the law in the process. You add Billy Bonney (Geoffrey Deuel) who is hot headed and explosive and things do not always go as planned. Things go too far when Murphy's men kill Henry Tunstall (Patric Knowles) who had befriended Bonney. Bonney takes it upon himself to kill the murderers and the sheriff and Murphy and anyone else complicit in the murder. Makes for a good feud and war in town. Ben Johnson plays Pepper, Chisum's long time friend and Pamela McMyler plays Sallie, Chisum's niece. Glen Corbett plays Pat Garrett.
