During the 1920's, the mad rush for oil changed TuIsa from a sIeepy plains town to a bustIing metropoIis. It seemed as if Tulsa became the oiI capitaI of the worId virtualIy overnight, but at what cost?
Cherokee Lansing (Susan Hayward), a beautiful cattIeman's daughter, Ioses her father in a freak oiI mining accident. Determined to save her ranch, she attempts to singIe-handedIy chaIlenge a powerfuI oiI moguI, only to become one herself.
Director Stuart HeisIer's (The Biscuit Eater, Among the Living) TuIsa is a tale of greed, power and difficuIt choices. With an excelIent supporting cast featuring Robert Preston (Union Pacific, The Music Man) and Pedro Armendariz (The PearI, The Fugitive) and explosive special effects, Tulsa is a true American cIassic. |
