10 Amazing Western Movies That Are Completely Inaccurate to Real History According to Screenrant

"There are lots of amazing Western movies that have swept audiences away with their powerful portrayals of cowboys, bandits, and outlaws, that, when looked at from a historical perspective, are totally inaccurate. As a genre, the Western has usually been more focused on delivering fast-paced entertainment than a completely accurate representation of life in the Wild West. In the process, the depiction of bounty hunters, Native Americans, weaponry, and women can often suffer from a realism problem. While acclaimed classic Western filmmakers like John Ford have been applauded for iconic Western movies, such as 'Stagecoach' and 'The Searchers,' these films have also brought up issues for historians who questioned the validity of everything that was represented on screen. The Western genre's tendency towards fabrication has continued right up to the modern day. Despite these historical inaccuracies, this did not stop these Westerns from still being amazing movies." - screenrant.com
