Rocky Mountain is a 1950 American Western film directed by William Keighley and starring Errol Flynn.

As a last desperate effort to turn the tide of the war, Barstow's mission is to persuade Cole Smith and his 500 men to raid California on behalf of the Confederacy.

Barstow's men charge and drive off the Shoshone after the stage overturns, rescuing driver Gil Craigie and the only surviving passenger, Johanna Carter, traveling to join her fiancé, Union Army officer Lt. Rickey.

Barstow decides to use all his men to lure the Indians away from the mountain while Johanna, Craigie and the Union trooper escape.

Rickey raises their rebel flag on top of Rocky Mountain to salute the bravery of their fallen foes.

Reagan claims he discovered Ghost Story and helped negotiate its purchase by Warners through his agent, MCA.
