This fantastic feature box set showcases the Duke in some of his finest performances. Features Comprise: Legend Of The Lost (Dir. Henry Hathaway 1957): An unlikely trio treks across the Sahara Desert in search of a lost city and riches. But they might not like what they find there. Bonnard an apparently religious man enlists the aid of trial guide Joe January to help him find a cache of loot stashed in the sand by Bonnard's long-lost father. Dita a young local woman with a checkered past tags along. When they learn that Bonnard's father isn't the good man everyone imagined him to be Bonnard himself reveals another ugly side. The Big Trail (Dir. Raoul Walsh 1930): John Wayne hits the pioneer trail in his first feature film. Starring as the leader of a wagon trail he battles through tough terrain and Indian attacks and learns of love and friendship in this sweeping Western epic! The Comancheros (Dir. Michael Curtiz John Wayne 1961): John Wayne is a Texas Ranger in this rollicking good humored western assigned to bring an arms-running gang to justice. After Wayne arrests one of the criminals matters are complicated when they wander into an area controlled by the Comancheros- a group of Anglos aiding the warring Comanche Indians. Director Curtiz' last film is based on the novel by Paul I. Wellman. North To Alaska (Dir. Henry Hathaway 1960): A tough Alaskan gold digger (John Wayne) agrees to pick up his partner's (Stewart Granger) fiancee but winds up bringing back a beautiful substitute instead.

McLaglen 1969): In the tumultuous aftermath of the Civil War Union Cavalry officer John Henry Thomas (John Wayne) takes his heroic men West while Southerner James Langdon (Rock Hudson) takes his soldiers to Mexico.
