The Baron of Arizona is a 1950 film by Samuel Fuller and starring Vincent Price. The film concerns a master forger's attempted use of false documents to lay claim to the territory of Arizona late in the 19th century, and is based on the case of James Reavis, whose scheme came close to success, but many of the details are fictionalized in the film.
