In 1836 in East Texas, nine-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker was kidnapped by Comanches. She was raised by the tribe and eventually became the wife of a warrior. Twenty-four years after her capture, she was reclaimed by the U.S. cavalry and Texas Rangers and restored to her white family, to die in misery and obscurity. Cynthia Ann’s story has been told and re-told over generations to become a foundational American tale. The myth gave rise to operas and one-act plays, and in the 1950s to a novel by Alan LeMay, which would be adapted into one of Hollywood’s most legendary films, The Searchers, "The Biggest, Roughest, Toughest… and Most Beautiful Picture Ever Made!" directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne.

John Ford’s masterpiece "The Searchers "(1956) was rated fifth greatest film of all time in "Sight and Sound’"s most recent poll of critics. Its influence on many of America’s most distinguished contemporary filmmakers – among them Martin Scorsese, Paul Schrader, and John Milius – is enormous. Edward Buscombe provides a detailed commentary on all aspects of the film, and makes full use of material in the John Ford archive in Indiana, including Ford’s own memos and the original script, which differs in vital respects from the film he made.
