The Tall Men.

Brothers Ben (Clark Gable) and Clint Allison (Cameron Mitchell) are on their way to the goldfields of Montana after serving in the Confederate Army's Quantrill's Raiders. In need of money, they rob wealthy businessman Nathan Stark (Robert Ryan) and take him to a hideout. Stark talks them into becoming partners with him on a cattle drive from Texas to Montana using Stark's money and the Allison's expertise. The Allisons fall out of love when they realise that Nell, who had a hellish childhood on a farm, has dreams of riches whilst Ben merely wants to have his own ranch.
