Fred MacMurray and Charlton Heston star as legendary duo Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, who lead a historic exploration of the Pacific Northwest following President Thomas Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Searching for a water route from the newly purchased city of St. Louis, Missouri, to the Pacific Ocean, Lewis and Clark encounter wary natives, rugged terrain, and harsh weather conditions as they travel through the still-uncharted frontier with the help of Native American guide Sacajawea (Donna Reed). (official distributor synopsis)
