When it comes to sheer action, few John Wayne Westerns - if any - can rival Hondo. Based on a short story by prominent Western novelist Louis L'Amour, Hondo is one of a long list of Western movies that John Wayne made in his many decades in the industry. At first glance, it may seem like just another entry into the genre he was so famous for, but the fact that it was filmed for a 3D release makes it unique, at least to some degree, from all other John Wayne movies.
