Join us for a screening of one of the greatest Westerns ever made. Directed by John Ford (Stagecoach, Grapes of Wrath) and starring John Wayne, The Searchers is an epic tale of revenge, obsession, and redemption set against the majestic backdrop of the American frontier. Wayne delivers one of his finest performances as Ethan Edwards, a relentless and complex character driven by a personal mission. The film’s breathtaking cinematography, powerful storytelling, and deep themes have earned it a place in the pantheon of classic American cinema.
 
In 1989, The Searchers was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in its National Film Registry; it was one of the first 25 films selected for the registry.
