The Big Trail

The Big Trail ialah filem pra-Kod Amerika 1930 difilemkan di lokasi di seluruh Amerika Barat dibintangi John Wayne dalam peranan utama pertamanya dan diarahkan oleh Raoul Walsh. 

Pada tahun 2006, Perpustakaan Kongres Amerika Syarikat menganggap filem ini sebagai penting dari segi "budaya, sejarah, atau estetik", dan memilihnya untuk dipelihara di Pejabat Pendaftaran Filem Negara."Films Added to National Film Registry for 2006" (Press release). Library of Congress. December 27, 2006. ISSN 0731-3527. The story goes that director Raoul Walsh was seeking a male lead for his new Western and asked his friend John Ford. Ford recommended an unknown actor named John Wayne because he "liked the looks of this new kid with a funny walk, like he owned the world". When Wayne professed inexperience, Walsh told him to just "sit good on a horse and point". The plot of a trek along the Oregon Trail is aided immensely by the majestic sweep provided by the experimental Grandeur wide-screen process used in filming. However, Wayne's starring role in the movie did not lead to stardom. He languished in low-budget pictures until John Ford cast him in the 1939 classic "Stagecoach".
