How the West Was Won

A sprawling epic tracing the fortunes of several generations of an American pioneer family as they move West and cope with the Civil War.

The film's several sections were made by different directors, including Henry Hathaway and John Ford.

Spencer Tracy narrates, while Henry Fonda, Gregory Peck, James Stewart and John Wayne top the all-star bill.

Not to be confused with the 1970s television series.
