When Cogburn's employer insists on accompanying the old gunfighter, sparks fly.

Laughter and tears punctuate the wild action in this extraordinary Western which features performances by Robert Duvall and Strother Martin. TRUE GRIT (2010) True Grit is a powerful story of vengeance and valor set in an unforgiving and unpredictable frontier where justice is simple and mercy is rare.

Just fourteen, she enlists the help of Rooster Cogburn (Academy Award Winner Jeff Bridges), a one-eyed, trigger-happy U.S. Marshall with an affinity for drinking and hardened Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (Academy Award Winner Matt Damon) to track the fleeing Chaney. Despite their differences, their ruthless determination leads them on a perilous adventure that can only have one outcome retribution.
