	'''''Big Jake''''' is a 1971 western/crime caper directed by George Sherman and starred [[John Wayne]], [[Richard Boone]] and Maureen O'Hara. The grandson ([[Ethan Wayne]]) of Martha McCandles (Maureen O'Hara) is kidnapped and many of her employees are slaughtered by John Fain ([[Richard Boone]]) and his men during a raid on the McCandles' Ranch. With no one left to help, Martha calls in her estranged husband "Big Jake" McCandles ([[John Wayne]]) for assistance, along with his sons Michael ([[Christopher Mitchum]]), James ([[Patrick Wayne]]), his old friend Sam ([[Bruce Cabot]]) and his dog (named Dog), to ride after the gang. In many respects, the movie reflects the social and political climate of the time (early seventies) when it was made. ''Big Jake'' was written by husband and wife team Harry Julian Fink and Rita M. Fink, who went on to write the film ''[[Dirty Harry]]'', which explains the decidedly modern feel that ''Big Jake'' has when addressing such issues as criminals and relations between parents and their grown children. "Big Jake" was longtime movie director George Sherman's (1908 - 1991) last feature production. He began his career working in the Warner Brothers mail room in 1921 and formally retired from the business in 1978.
