What is batjac productions?

Batjac Productions is an American film and television production company founded by actor John Wayne in 1952. The name "Batjac" is derived from a term used by Wayne and his friends to describe something outside the norm.

Most of the films produced by Batjac were Westerns, reflecting Wayne's own iconic status as a cowboy actor. Some of the most notable films produced by Batjac include "Hondo" (1953), "McLintock!" (1963), and "The Alamo" (1960).

In addition to producing films, Batjac also ventured into television production, with the series "The High and the Mighty" and "Acropolis Now" among its notable projects.

Batjac Productions continues to operate today as a subsidiary of John Wayne Enterprises, preserving the legacy of John Wayne and his contributions to the entertainment industry.
