In a marksmanship contest, Lin McAdam wins a prized Winchester rifle, which is immediately stolen by the runner-up, Dutch Henry Brown. This "story of a rifle" then follows McAdams' pursuit, and the rifle as it changes hands, until a final showdown and shoot-out on a rocky mountain precipice.

Winchester '73 Ratings & Reviews

  • Michael SurberJuly 2, 2025
    One of the greatest westerns ever made. Jimmy Stewart changed direction with this film, playing a more complex hero role than anything previous. Ranks right up there with High Noon or Shane. Truly a great classic film.
  • Mister ArnMay 14, 2025
    "Winchester '73" is a Cain and Able story with an uncommon rife moving the plot. It's a classic western with great performances all round.
