Only the producer of Gone With The Wind could have conceived a film so massive in scope and sweep as this epic Western which received several Academy Award nominations and made Variety's All-Time Box Office list. With an all-star cast headed by Gregory Peck, Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotten, Duel In The Sun is a Western, a love story and a family saga rolled into one and features some of the most breathtaking photography ever seen.

When a vivacious half-breed Indian girl named Pearl (Jones) is sent to live with the Texas land baron, Senator McCanles, conflict abruptly arises. Hot-blooded Pearl captures the attention of the Senator's sons: Jesse (Cotten) and fiery Lewt (Peck). Soon both of the brothers are vying for her attention, which leads to betrayal, wild desert shoot-outs and a lusty love-hate relationship between Pearl and Lewt.
