The Shootist
The film begins with clips of John Wayne's past films. Aging gunfighter John Bernard "J.B." Books arrives in Carson City, Nevada, on the same date as Queen Victoria's death: January 22, 1901. Books' life is also ending soon, as his diagnosis of terminal cancer is confirmed by "Doc" Hostetler. Doc directs Books to a boarding house owned by Bond Rogers, a widow who lives with her teenaged son, Gillom.
