Synopsis
"The Far Country" (1954) is an Anthony Mann western you can watch online on iFILM, starring James Stewart alongside Walter Brennan and Ruth Roman.
Cattle driver Jeff Webster pushes his herd north from Seattle to Alaska during the Klondike rush — good money if it arrives. Sea transport falls through, so Jeff and his talkative partner Rube drive the animals overland through the mountains into Canada. At the boom-town camp, a man named Gannon runs everything behind a badge and a crew of hired guns. The herd doesn't last long.
Mann made five westerns with Stewart, and this is among their sharpest. Jeff isn't a comfortable hero — stubborn, self-serving, slow to help anyone who can't help him back. That friction is the point: a man who resists doing the right thing until he runs out of other choices. Stream "The Far Country" (1954) online on iFILM.
