Description

Code of Honor offers detailed accounts of the making of three classic, and arguably the best, American Western films ever made: High Noon (1952; directed by Fred Zinnemann), Shane (1953; directed by George Stevens), and The Searchers (1956; directed by John Ford). What binds this trio together is the hero's "code of honor," whether that means standing alone against a gang of killers, sacrificing the desire to never again use a gun, or prevailing in a seemingly hopeless search for a kidnapped relative.
