True Grit
Da faren blir ranet og drept av en fredløs mann, sverger 14-åringen Mattie Ross på å ta hevn. Hun får hjelp av en drikkfeldig U.S. Marshal og en tøff Texas Ranger for å finne banditten og oppnå rettferdighet.
True Grit
Etter farens drap legger guttejenta Mattie Ross ut på et oppdrag for å bringe "rettferdighet", som betyr å hevne farens død. Hun rekrutterer en tøff gammel marshall, "Rooster" Cogburn, fordi han anses å få ting gjort. De får selskap av en Texas Ranger, La Boeuf, som leter etter samme mann for et annet drap i Texas. Deres reise fører dem fra Fort Smith, Arkansas, dypt inne i Indian Territory (dagens Oklahoma) for å finne den skyldige.
True Grit (2010)
Following the murder of her father by hired hand Tom Chaney, 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross sets out to capture the killer. To aid her, she hires the toughest U.S. marshal she can find, a man with "true grit," Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn. Mattie insists on accompanying Cogburn, whose drinking, sloth, and generally reprobate character do not augment her faith in him. Against his wishes, she joins him in his trek into the Indian Nations in search of Chaney. They are joined by Texas Ranger LaBoeuf, who wants Chaney for his own purposes. The unlikely trio find danger and surprises on the journey, and each has his or her "grit" tested.
