Summary: A frontiersman attempts to track down his father's murderer and the whereabouts of his one-of-a-kind rifle--the Winchester 73--as it passes among a rogue's gallery of owners.
In the old west, cowboy Lin McAdam (James Stewart) wins a valuable Winchester 1873 repeating rifle in a shooting contest--which his brother(Stephen McNally)instantly steals. This leads to a rousing series of adventures for McAdam, as he attempts to track down the weapon, which passes through the hands of a number of dangerous people. Meanwhile, Lin must also deal with the cold-blooded murder of his father. Seeking vengeance, the cowboy sets out to find the killer. When he does, the two men match skills in a violent, deadly showdown. Anthony Mann's edgy, psychological western features a powerful performance by Jimmy Stewart as a man obsessed.

Winchester '73 is the first in a remarkable string of five classic westerns that James Stewart made with Anthony Mann in the 1950s (followed by Bend of the River, The Man from Laramie, The Naked Spur, and The Far Country). It is also distinguished for having helped revive the Western at the box office, and for being the first film in which the star forsook a huge up-front salary in favor of a share of the profits--a strategy that made Stewart rich and forever changed the way that Hollywood does business. The movie itself is pretty darned impressive, too. Stewart traces a stolen Winchester rifle through several owners until he finds the man he's looking for. The final spectacular shootout in craggy, mountainous terrain is justly famous. --Jim Emerson
