The Western genre oftens focuses its lense on the sheriff of a town, glorifying their struggle to keep order amongst the forces of nature and evildoers. Rio Bravo (1959) is no exception to this trope, following the sheriff in the town of Rio Bravo, Texas, as he and his team face off against a local rancher’s gang.
