The Big Stampede is a 1932 pre-Code American Western film starring John Wayne (with his horse named "Duke") and Noah Beery.[1] It is a remake of the 1927 film The Land Beyond the Law.
Deputy Sheriff Steele is commissioned by Governor Wallace to protect settlers in New Mexico Territory while a cattle baron and his accomplice try to prevent the newcomers from settling there.[2]
Much of the footage in this film was reused from The Land Beyond the Law (1927), which starred Ken Maynard. Warner Bros. had Wayne dress in outfits that matched those worn by Maynard in the earlier film. Discrepancies occurred, however, when new footage was shot on a different location from that of the previous film.
