True Grit

Mattie Ross is just 14 years old when a coward going by the name of Tom Chaney shoots her father down in Fort Smith, Arkansas, robbing him of his life, his horse, and $150 in cash. Accompained by the one-eyed Rooster Cogburn -- the meanest available US Marshall -- Mattie leaves home to avenge her father's death and to pursue his killer into Indian Territory.
The basis for the classic film of the same name featuring John Wayne in his only Academy Award winning performance and now a major motion picture directed by the Coen Brothers starring Matt Damon and Jeff Bridges.
