Tycoon
Tycoon
Engineer Johnny Munroe (John Wayne) is enlisted to build a railroad tunnel through a mountain to reach mines. His task is complicated, and his ethics are compromised, when he falls in love with his boss' daughter.

“Tycoon” casts John Wayne as a driven engineer caught in a melodrama where a railroad project takes a backseat to strained family ties and a lukewarm romance. The film touches on themes of determination, class divides, and masculine pride, but it only skims the surface, never fully committing to explore them in depth.
