This is director Anthony Mann's reboot of the 1931 Oscar-winning saga about frontier life in Oklahoma. Glenn Ford plays Yancey 'Cimarron' Cravit, a survivor of the Old West with a devil-may-care attitude toward life and the future. His wife Sabra (Maria Schell) leans more toward a civilized way of living. The couple will join family and friends in the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889. Yancey does his best to stabilize a free thinking, free speaking newspaper; get in the middle of mixed feelings towards the Native American Indian and flirt with thoughts of being the governor of the young state.
Based somewhat on the writing of novelist Edna Ferber and the almost 2 and 1/2 hour long film will afford a myriad of stars like: Anne Baxter, Arthur O'Connell, Mercedes McCambridge, Charles McGraw, Vic Morrow, L.Q. Jones, Russ Tamblyn, Henry Morgan, Royal Dano, Aline MacMahon and Edgar Buchanan.
