* AwesomeButImpractical: According to Starrett, Ryker's seizing as much land as possible for his cattle is doomed to fail, as it's too inefficient: there's too much space to govern the cattle, and he's got too large a herd to govern anyway as most of them are skin and bone. A better goal is to keep a tiny herd that can fenced in and can be looked after, and allow space for other things like hogs and grain.

DeterminedHomesteader Joe Starrett (Van Heflin), his wife Marian (Creator/JeanArthur), and their young son Joey (Brandon [=deWilde=]) are running a small farm in an isolated Wyoming valley. A local cattle rancher, Rufus Ryker (Emile Meyer), wants to force them -- and the valley's other [[DeterminedHomesteader Nesters]] -- out of their homes; he offers money, but is more than happy to do it with guns and a few [[{{Mooks}} hired goons]]. In the midst of this ongoing conflict, a wanderer in buckskin clothing named Shane (Creator/AlanLadd) meets Starrett, and after a quickly-resolved misunderstanding, Starrett hires Shane to work for him and help protect his family. Shane soon becomes an idol to Joey, who wants to learn how to shoot and hopes Shane can do the teaching. This pushes Shane, Starrett, and Marian into a heated debate about the appropriateness of guns and violence.

This is the last film for Jean Arthur, whose Hollywood career dated back to TheRoaringTwenties. Creator/JackPalance played Wilson the murderous gunman. It was essentially remade and combined with ''Film/HighPlainsDrifter'' as the Creator/ClintEastwood film ''Film/PaleRider'', with Eastwood basically playing Creator/AlanLadd's role.
