Walking Tall is the name of three old movies, a TV series and a new movie based on the real-life story of Buford Pusser, whose fight with lawless slime in his rural Southern community led him to become sheriff and run some powerful local businessmen out of town.

The original film, released in 1974, was fairly true to the original story. It was set in the south, in a quiet rural town. Two sequels followed it.

The 2004 film, starring Dwayne Johnson ("The Rock") and much more flashy violence, opened on April 2, 2004.
