Plots(1)
Adapted from A.B. Guthrie Jr.'s novel, a sprawling Western adventure about a wagon train of pioneers making the overland journey to Oregon. The party is led by Senator William J. Tadlock, a visionary of almost fanatical strictness whose unyielding ways don't sit well with an ill-tempered fellow pioneer or his less-than-enthusiastic trail scout. As the group struggles to survive the arduous trek, their many hardships are compounded by interpersonal conflict. (official distributor synopsis)
