Wealthy rancher Bick Benedict and dirt-poor cowboy Jett Rink both woo Leslie Lynnton, a beautiful young woman from Maryland who is new to Texas. She marries Benedict, but she is shocked by the racial bigotry of the White Texans against the local people of Mexican descent. Rink discovers oil on a small plot of land, and while he uses his vast, new wealth to buy all the land surrounding the Benedict ranch, the Benedict's disagreement over prejudice fuels conflict that runs across generations.

Warner's 4K steelbook got mixed reactions on the artwork. Collectors wanted classic poster designs instead of the modern illustrated look. The disc itself rated well, and the standalone 4K arrived alongside Cool Hand Luke and The Maltese Falcon as part of Warner's classic catalog push.
