Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Undefeated is a 1969 American Western film directed by Andrew V. McLaglen and starring John Wayne and Rock Hudson.In the closing days of The American Civil War, Union Army Colonel John Henry Thomas (Wayne), after being told that the war had ended at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia, leads his company out west towards home with the intention of rounding up and selling wild horses in the Arizona and New Mexico Territories as compensation for his men. Meanwhile, a band of Confederate States Army soldiers led by Colonel James Langdon (Hudson), feeling that the war has left them with no home, prepare to emigrate south to Mexico and serve as reinforcements to Emperor Maximilian during the French intervention of Mexico. The two groups eventually meet, and although the tensions from the war soon emerge, they must join forces to fight off Mexican bandits and revolutionaries.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the 2011 political documentary on Sarah Palin of the same name, or the 2011 documentary film about the Manassas Tigers high school football team, Undefeated.

Anachronism Stew: The film is stated to take place during the end of the Civil War, in 1865, but elements from other time periods appear: The cavalry uniforms are from the Indian Wars (1870s-1880s) rather than the ones used during the Civil War (1860s). The Confederates are using 1873 Springfield Trapdoor rifles, the Mexican bandit leader is using an 1873 Trapdoor Carbine, and John Henry Thomas is using an 1873 Colt Peacemaker and an 1892 Winchester rifle. In the opening scene, Union soldiers are marching past the screen carrying a flag with 48 stars on it. During the Civil War the Union flag only had either 34 or 35 stars. The song played during the Mexican reception to Americans is "La Adelita", which actually would not be composed until 1914 or 1915, i.e. some 50 years after the time period of the film.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
