Mind-Blowing Movie Plot Twists That Nobody Saw Coming

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

This 1962 western is told via flashback as Ransom Stoddard (Jimmy Stewart) and Hallie (Vera Miles) return to town over 25 years later to attend the late Tom Doniphon's (John Wayne) funeral. Stoddard's career in politics was built upon the murder of Liberty Valance, but in reality, Doniphon was the one who shot Valance with a rifle from across the street. Unfortunately, that didn't end too well for Doniphon, seeing as Hallie left him for Stoddard.
