The Big Picture Less than a decade before John Ford made John Wayne a household name with the Western epic Stagecoach, the Duke played various bit parts in Hollywood's golden years, appearing often in film serials throughout the 1920s and '30s. It wasn't until Wayne starred in The Big Trail in 1930 that he began landing more leading roles, and in 1932 he made a 12-part serial titled The Hurricane Express.

'The Hurricane Express' Is One of Three John Wayne Serials With Mascot Pictures Close In his 50 years as a Hollywood star, John Wayne made very few movie serials. Today, this type of filmmaking doesn't even exist anymore, with the closest thing today being Kevin Costner's Horizon: An American Saga. In some sense, the film serial was the precursor to television, which thrives on cliffhangers and ambiguous endings to make audiences tune in week after week.
