Jeff Bridges) and another lawman (
Matt Damon) in tracking her father's killer into hostile Indian territory in
Joel and
Ethan Coen's adaptation of Charles Portis' original novel. Sticking more closely to the source material than the 1969 feature adaptation starring Western icon
John Wayne, the Coens'
True Grit tells the story from the young girl's perspective, and re-teams the celebrated filmmaking duo with their

Scott Rudin.
Josh Brolin and
Barry Pepper co-star.
