Branded [DVD]

Movie / Show Details

Branded is a 1960s western television series starring Chuck Connors as Jason McCord, a West Point graduate and decorated cavalry officer. After being the sole survivor of a battle with Apache Indians at Bitter Creek, McCord is court-martialed and stripped of his rank, branded a coward by the Army. He then wanders the western frontier seeking redemption and justice, helping those in need while attempting to clear his name. The series is remembered for its iconic theme song.

This DVD release from Madison Productions contains one disc with three episodes and a runtime of two hours and fifteen minutes. The included episodes are Survival, in which McCord aids a dying man in the desert only to be abandoned; The Vindicator, featuring a newspaper reporter and a widow with letters that might exonerate McCord; and The Mission, a three-part story where McCord is recruited by President Grant for a dangerous undercover operation that leads to his arrest and a sentence of death.
