A classic of the Western genre that broke with many of the traditions at the time, High Noon endures -- in no small part thanks to Gary Cooper's defiant, Oscar-winning performance. Former marshal Will Kane (Gary Cooper) is preparing to leave the small town of Hadleyville, New Mexico, with his new bride, Amy (Grace Kelly), when he learns that local criminal Frank Miller has been set free and is coming to seek revenge on the marshal who turned him in. When he starts recruiting deputies to fight Miller, Kane is discouraged to find that the people of Hadleyville turn cowardly when the time comes for a showdown, and he must face Miller and his cronies alone. #GaryCooper #GraceKelly

Gary Cooper won the Oscar for the Best Actor in this classic tale of a lawman who stands alone to defend a town of cowardly citizens against a gang of revenge-seeking criminals. In the greatest showdown in the history of cinema, Cooper stands to lose not only the town but his new wife, Grace Kelly. The film also stars one of Hollywood's most beloved and prolific actors, Lloyd Bridges, and marks the first starring role for a beautiful young actress and internationally adored screen legend Grace Kelly. High Noon garnered a total of four Academy Awardsincluding Best Film Editing, Score and Original Song.

What if America stands alone?

In the classic Western movie High Noon, a lone lawman took on four bloodthirsty outlaws. His townspeople had already scurried back to their homes. His new bride urged him to leave for a better place with her. He stayed put, however, bracing for death rather than cowardice. Honor had him fight the gang head-on, but love had his woman come to his rescue in an unladylike manner. When the gun smoke cleared, love won. 

The moral of the story? We need to hold our ground. We need to fight dirty in order to get a clean shot at the oncoming evil. This is our High Noon moment.  

This will also be America's High Noon moment, if and when the world's sole superpower suddenly finds itself standing alone, with a world order to keep and a national honor to defend. That will define the ultimate measure of Americans.*

Yes, America may never find itself in a High Noon moment going forward. But then, never say never.
