The Tall Men is a 1955 western movie directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Clark Gable, Jane Russell, and Robert Ryan.
The 20th Century Fox film was produced by William A. Bacher and William B. Hawks. Sydney Boehm and Frank S. Nugent wrote the screenplay, based on a novel by Heck Allen (as Clay Fisher).
Ben Allison (Gable) and his brother Clint (Cameron Mitchell) journey to Montana in search of gold. They come upon wealthy businessman Nathan Stark (Robert Ryan) who talks them into becoming partners with him on a cattle drive to Montana. As they travel to Texas, they come upon a party of settlers being attacked by Indians. They save Nella Turner (Jane Russell) who joins them on the cattle drive. Ben and Nella have a fling, but Nella rejects him as unromantic. Arriving in Fort Worth, Nella takes up with Stark, whose desire to make as much money as possible coincides with Nella's own ambitions. But when, at Stark's insistence, she accompanies him on the final trek to Montana, the friction between Ben and Stark erupts as the drive heads into dangerous Indian country.
