Roughnecks

Directed by Bernard McEveety

With Cathy Lee Crosby, Steve Forrest, Sam Melville, Vera Miles and Harry Morgan

Ida McBride decides to drill for oil on her ranch, against her son Tom's wishes. A contentious crew of wildcatters arrives, including a stalwart drilling magnate, his tool-pusher and a young roughneck associate, who endeavor to save the ranching empire by trying to bring in a methane gas well.
