The True Grit film series consists of American western dramas, including theatrical and made-for-television installments. The plot follows the adventures of Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn in the Old American West, and detail his role in bringing justice to outlaws and bandits who wrongfully terrorize small towns and villages. Each movie includes his voyages with women he is tasked with protecting, despite his apprehensions.

The 1969 original film proved to be a success with a positive response from critics,[4] and a profit at the box office.[1] Conversely the 1975 sequel however, received mixed reception from critics and audiences alike,[5] with commercial receipts earning a fraction of the income received through the first installment;[2] many referred to the movie as inferior its predecessor.[6] Similarly, the made-for-television third movie received muddled reception from critics and viewers alike, with critiques angled at its new cast and the story which was called "generic".[7][8] Despite this, the 2010 adaptation was met with positive reception both critically and financially.[9][3] It was later nominated for a total of 10 Oscars.[10]
