With George O'Brien, Madge Bellamy, J. Farrell MacDonald, James Welch, Francis Powers, Gladys Hulette, Jean Arthur, George Brent
Directed by John Ford
The Iron Horse is a 1924 American silent epic Western film directed by John Ford and produced by Fox Film. It was the studio's hastily planned response to the success of Paramount Pictures' The Covered Wagon. The studio gave Ford his first major budget, which he exceeded. The gamble paid off, and The Iron Horse was an enormous success. The film marked the beginning of Ford's strong association with Westerns.
