Shoshone tribesman and Civil War hero Lance Poole (Robert Taylor) returns home with a Congressional Medal of Honor on his chest and a saddlebag full of dreams about prospering as a cattleman on his family's land. But American Indians have no citizenship, no property rights. The courts, despite the efforts of Lance's attorney (Paula Raymond), offer no remedy. Lance and his people must fight to keep their land.

If you can overlook the fact that Robert Taylor (as white as snow) is cast as a Native American and let yourself be captivated by John Alton's stunning cinematography, this western should mesmerize you. It's not just about the beautiful visuals and noir atmosphere — Devil's Doorway packs a punch with its social commentary. The film tackles pressing issues like racism, exploitation, genocide, and women's emancipation, highlighting how many human problems persist through time, merely changing their guise. Set after the American Civil War, this 1950 film remains strikingly relevant, cutting deep even after 70 years. While mostly an intimate and tightly woven story, it offers some epic battle sequences that are masterfully executed. It's a shame this marked the final collaboration between director Anthony Mann and cinematographer John Alton, but they certainly ended on a high note, leaving a significant mark on their illustrious careers.
