Big Jake (1971)

In the fading twilight of the wild, untamed West of 1909 Texas, the ominous shadow of the savage outlaw, John Fain, and his notorious gang descends upon the sprawling McCandles Ranch. In a merciless raid, they leave a trail of blood and terror, indiscriminately extinguishing lives and seizing the McCandles' innocent eight-year-old grandson, Jacob. The malevolent gang demands a staggering one-million-dollar ransom - a king's bounty in the brutal, lawless frontier. In this desperate hour, Martha McCandles reaches out to her estranged husband, the legendary figure known only as Big Jake. A man whose reputation for courage, grit, and cunning is as vast as the Texas plains themselves; he is Martha's last hope. Big Jake is thrust into a perilous journey into a ruthless land too hostile for even the mighty Texas Rangers or the army to dare cross. Armed with a sturdy strongbox overflowing with cash, the companionship of a faithful Collie dog, and the cunning of a loyal Indian scout friend, Big Jake embarks on a high-stakes rescue mission. He matches wits and weapons with the heavily-armed kidnappers, determined to bring little Jacob home alive. Amidst the harsh landscape and escalating danger, will Big Jake's swift frontier justice prevail over the hardened criminals? Only the harsh Texan sunsets hold the answer.

Big Jake is a western movie featuring John Wayne.
