A lengthy, leisurely-paced film, RIO BRAVO is set in a small Texas border town, Rio Bravo, that is under the control of evil cattle baron Russell and his dim-witted brother, Akins.
Overall, RIO BRAVO is an excellent film featuring strong, proud, but very human characters who fight against their various handicaps and pull together to do a job and do it right.
The people in RIO BRAVO have the same kind of deep affection and understanding for one another as do close family members who are not afraid to speak truthfully for fear of hurting each other's feelings, and it is that aspect of the film that is so appealing.

Hawks is not in a hurry with "Rio Bravo", adding romantic subplots, comic relief characters, and even musical numbers that are not part of the main story.
"Rio Bravo" was intended by Hawks and Wayne as a response to "High Noon" (1952).
"Rio Bravo" is much looser, with Wayne seeming to relish his position as the town's most important citizen and protector.

Likewise, the Tamaulipan Mezquital of South Texas and adjacent Mexico is considered one of the “last great habitats” in North America due its unique biological resources (Fulbright and Bryant 2002).
Over time, native plants and animals in the regions surrounding the Rio Grande have adapted to extreme cycles of prolonged drought, flood, repeated fires and the recurrent pressures of large grazing animals.
Although it maintains a significant biological value, much of the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo Basin is highly degraded when compared to its condition of 50 to 100 years ago (Ricketts et al 1999).

 The Old West, Howard Hawks-Style
Rio Bravo is only the second film I've seen starring John Wayne (the other being The Searchers), and even now I still don't exactly know what to make of him as an actor.
Rio Bravo was directed by Howard Hawks, who directed entries in many different genres, from screwball comedy (His Girl Friday), film noir (The Big Sleep), to westerns such as Red River and this film.
Rio Bravo contains all three of these elements, although John Wayne is not the first thing I think of when I think rapid-fire dialogue.
