Thunder Mountain is a 1947 American Western film directed by Lew Landers and starring Tim Holt and Martha Hyer. It was the first of Holt's 29 post war Western star vehicles[3] and the first in a series of Zane Grey adaptations he made for RKO.[4] It was also the first film of his written by Norman Houston who would go on to write 19 more for the star.[2]
The film began production as To the Last Man but the studio had trouble clearing the title because of a proposed Liberty Films project called The Last Man, so they used the title of the 1935 Zane Grey novel.[5]
Plot
A cowboy fights against crooks trying to control his land.
