When  The Cowboys  premiered in 1972, it was one of the biggest hits of the year. It is best remembered for launching the careers of several young actors, as well as being one of only a small handful of movies in which John Wayne’s character dies.

The 50^th  anniversary celebration of  The Cowboys  will feature three days of events, including two outdoor screenings of the movie, from June 24-26. It will bring together several stars from the film, including Robert Carradine, A Martinez, Mike Pyeatt, Nicolas Beauvy, Al Barker, Sam O’Brien Bass, Stephen Hudis, Sean Kelly and Steve Benedict Austin.
