On the eve of retirement, Captain Nathan Brittles takes out a last patrol to stop an impending massive Indian attack. Encumbered by women who must be evacuated, Brittles finds his mission imperiled.
Editor's Verdict
"The film 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon' is a classic Western drama set around a military mission on the frontier. There is absolutely no indication in the plot summary, genre, or known context that the story involves Christmas, holiday themes, or seasonal relevance. All criteria point to 'None'."
