For more than a century, Western films have embodied America's most fundamental doctrine - expansionism - and depicted, in a uniquely American way, the archetypal battle between good and evil. Westerns also depict a country defined and re-defined by complex crises. World War II transformed the genre as well as the nation's identity.
