Two Flags West is a 1950 Western drama set during the American Civil War, directed by Robert Wise and starring Joseph Cotten, Jeff Chandler, Linda Darnell and Cornel Wilde. Based on the historical service of "Galvanized Yankees", the film tells the story of a company of imprisoned Confederate States Army cavalry troopers who are granted amnesty and travel to a remote New Mexico post that is attacked by Kiowa Indians.
Two Flags West is among a group of 1950s Civil War reconciliation-themed Westerns in which soldiers from North and South combine against a common foe, along with Rocky Mountain (1950), The Last Outpost (1951), Escape from Fort Bravo (1953) and Revolt at Fort Laramie (1957).
