For a fee, hard-drinking Texas marshal Guthrie McCabe (James Stewart) agrees to help Army officer Jim Gary (Richard Widmark) search for a group of whites who were abducted years earlier by Comanche warriors. After rescuing two of the abductees, McCabe and Gary find that the former captives have fully adopted the culture of their American Indian captors and are barely recognizable.

Ian Kane Epoch Times When compared to some of Ford’s iconic classics, “Two Rode Together” may not shine as brightly, but it still stands as an admirable production. Rated: 3.5/5 May 1, 2024 Full Review Jordan M. Smith IONCINEMA.com Though certainly not as piercing as some of his work with his male muse John Wayne, the film remains a solid entry into the nihilistic anti-heroic take on the western. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 4, 2020 Full Review Manny Farber Artforum This is studio moviemaking at its slackest. Jun 13, 2019 Full Review Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews Ford may have made it for a quick buck—or perhaps as a favor to Columbia chief Harry Cohn—but the impact of the resulting film is far more that of a provocative drama than a tossed-off oater. Rated: 3/4 Jun 4, 2014 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 4/5 Oct 1, 2005 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Ford fails to make his racism theme work in the same powerful way he did in The Searchers. Rated: B- Jul 6, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Lee T A stellar cast gives great performances in a story with an interesting premise. The major problem with the movie is the writing; the script is lame and dialog stilted; like something written by a 14 year old. The script does not live up to the story or the cast. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Lanfranco C Are the Indians the bad Guys? It is not so easy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Blu B A hidden gem Ford Classic. While the pacing isn't bad it doesn't really have much of a climax and does meander a bit and is slow the entire way perhaps a bit too much. This probably could have about 15 minutes shaved off of it and not really lose much. Besides that though it's suprisingly well made all around. Stewart is a bit of a dick most of the time in this but he's still good. Widmark is solid and the supporting cast is pretty good overall. The shots and sets are good as well. This is pretty focused the entire way and does a good job focusing on the character drama in a focused matter. There is hardly any action in this at all and it defintely could've used a bit more of a showdown or something but the character drama does make up for it. It can be a bit cheesy/campy at times but it's well put together. I would say if your a big fan of Ford, vintage westerns especially the Rio Bravo style westerns, or any actors in this than give this a shot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Steve D ok western with great cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review William R. P It's a "buddy movie" with inane banter between Stewart and Widmark 🙁 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Really good western here you need to try at James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, April 16, 2023 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
