"Broken Lance" is a 1954 Western film made by Twentieth Century-Fox, directed by Edward Dmytryk and produced by Sol C. Siegel. It starred Spencer Tracy with Katy Jurado, Richard Widmark, Robert Wagner, Jean Peters, and Hugh O'Brian. Shot in color in CinemaScope, the film is a remake of "House of Strangers" (1949) with the Phillip Yordan screenplay (based upon a novel by Jerome Weidman called "I'll Never Go Home Any More"), transplanted out west, featuring Tracy in the original Edward G. Robinson role, this time as a cowboy cattle baron rather than a Lower East Side Italian immigrant banker in New York City.

Awards and nominations

The film won the Academy Award for Best Story for Philip Yordan. Katy Jurado was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. The film also won a Golden Globe Award as Best Film Promoting International Understanding.
