The Searchers is a 1956 western film directed by John Ford in Technicolor.

In 1989 he was selected for conservation in the National Film Registry of the United States Library of Congress. In 1998 the American Film Institute placed it in 96th place in the ranking of the best one hundred US films of all time, while ten years later, in the updated list, it climbed to twelfth place.
The film is based on the 1954 novel of the same name by Alan Le May, who personally conducted research on 64 cases of children abducted by Indians. Debbie's character is believed to be inspired by that of Cynthia Ann Parker, a nine-year-old girl kidnapped by the Comanche who stormed her home in Fort Parker, Texas. He lived 24 years with the Comanches, married a chief and had three children, one of whom was the famous chief Quanah Parker. Her uncle James W. Parker spent much of his life and fortune finding her, like Ethan in the film. She was finally released, against her will, in an attack quite similar to the one described in the film.
