It tells of Senator Tadlock (KIRK DOUGLAS) who dreams of an empire beyond the Rockies; dirt farmer Lije Evans (RICHARD WIDMARK) whose imagination is large enough to encompass the magnitude of the movement of which he is a part; his wife Rebecca (LOLA ALBRIGHT), and of tough, embittered Dick Summers (ROBERT MITCHUM) the party’s scout whose job it is to point the way west for one of the world’s great migrations. It also tells of others who, for various personal reasons, have decided that their destinies lay in the rich, new country where the sun dips into the Picific and how all these destinies interwine in that cruel summer of 1843. The ordeals were many—dangerous rivers to ford, burning prairies to traverse, stampeding buffalo, fire-water-crazed Indians, dry water holes— and worse, the cupidity and secret ambitions of some of the members of the party themselves. What had started out as a friendly enough passage with all in common accord becomes a crawling hell. The teen-ager Mercy (SALLY FIELD) is lusted after and the results are cataclysmic. Otherwise strong Tadlock covets the wife of farmer Lije and it brings about his death. The party splits up. Some never get beyond the burning wastes. But the ordeal has at least burned away the weak and the inadequate among the emigrants. Only the strong and tried remain, and _ it is a chastened band which Lije and Summers finally lead into the valley of the Columbia and the promised land which is to become the proud State of Oregon. Summers, however, does not accompany them into the valley. His work is not yet finished. There will be other parties to guide across the wastes and through the perils of the way west. And all will have to pass through the same ordeals as this last one before they come to earn the blessings of the new promised land. (RUNNING TIME: 122 MINUTES) The Cast Sen. William J.
