Synopsis
Broken Lance (1954) is a western from director Edward Dmytryk you can watch online on iFILM. Spencer Tracy plays Matt Devereaux, the iron-fisted patriarch of a vast Arizona cattle empire — a man who runs his four sons and his land by one set of rules: his own.
When the youngest, Joe (Robert Wagner), walks out of prison after taking the fall for his father, he finds the family picked apart. His older half-brothers, led by Richard Widmark's character, have carved up the inheritance, and the full story of what killed the old man stays buried. Philip Yordan's screenplay — King Lear transplanted into spurs and dust — walked away with an Oscar for Best Original Story, and Katy Jurado's nomination for Best Supporting Actress was among the first for a Latina actress in that category.
