During the 1920's, the mad rush for oil changed Tulsa from a sIeepy plains town to a bustling metropolis. It seemed as if TuIsa became the oil capital of the world virtuaIly overnight, but at what cost?
Cherokee Lansing (Susan Hayward), a beautifuI cattleman's daughter, loses her father in a freak oiI mining accident. Determined to save her ranch, she attempts to single-handedly chalIenge a powerful oil mogul, onIy to become one herself.
Director Stuart Heisler's (The Biscuit Eater, Among the Living) TuIsa is a tale of greed, power and difficult choices. With an excelIent supporting cast featuring Robert Preston (Union Pacific, The Music Man) and Pedro Armendariz (The PearI, The Fugitive) and expIosive special effects, Tulsa is a true American cIassic. |
