| The Western is an American fiction genre seen in film, television, radio, literature, painting and other visual arts. Westerns are devoted to telling stories set primarily in the later half of the 19th century in what became the Western United States (known as the American Old West), but also in Western Canada and Mexico. The popular perception of the Western is a movie that centers on the life of a semi-nomadic wanderer, usually a cowboy or a gunfighter. The horse can be a major character in the story. You can see in our category for western films on DVD many old, classics and new versions. |

| Westerns often stress the harshness of the wilderness and frequently set the action in a desert-like landscape. Specific settings include isolated forts, ranches and homesteads; the Native American village; or the small frontier town with its saloon, general store, livery stable and jailhouse. A genre in which description and dialogue are lean, and the landscape spectacular, is well suited to film. Early Westerns were mostly filmed in the studio like other early Hollywood movies, but when location shooting became more common, producers of Westerns used desolate corners of New Mexico, California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Kansas, Texas, Colorado or Wyoming, often making the landscape not just a vivid backdrop, but a character in the movie. Productions were also filmed on location at movie ranches. |

Cowboys and gunslingers play prominent roles in Western movies. Often fights with Native Americans are depicted. In early Westerns, the "Injuns" are frequently portrayed as dishonorable villains. While many Westerns were filmed in California and Arizona, most of them depicted Texas. This was done consistently, despite the fact that the landscapes of Arizona and California have distinguishing traits that make them very different from Texas. Also, many westerns set in Texas show landscapes with Joshua trees in the background. Joshua trees only grow in California and Arizona.
