New Mexico (film)

New Mexico is a 1951 American Western film directed by Irving Reis and starring Lew Ayres and Marilyn Maxwell.

President Abraham Lincoln himself comes to New Mexico to discuss living together in peace with Acoma, a feared and respected Indian chief.

When Hunt states his objection, McComb has him placed under arrest alongside Acoma and a number of Indian braves, also breaking the truce cane.

Hunt takes command and cancels all travel in the region, angering a woman named Cherry who is planning a trip to Nevada.

She arrogantly elects to leave anyway, as does Judge Wilcox, so a company of men led by Hunt goes along as escort.
