True Grit is a 2010 American Western film directed, written, produced, and edited by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen. It is an adaptation of Charles Portis's 1968 novel. Starring Jeff Bridges as Deputy U.S. Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn and with Hailee Steinfeld in her theatrical film debut as Mattie Ross, the film also stars Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Barry Pepper. In the film, fourteen-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross hires boozy, trigger-happy lawman Cogburn to go after outlaw Tom Chaney, who murdered her father, accompanied by Texas Ranger LaBoeuf, who is hunting Chaney for killing a Texas state senator, and who has his own gripes with Cogburn.

Filming began in March 2010, and the film officially released in the United States on December 22, 2010, after advance screenings earlier that month. The film opened the 61st Berlin International Film Festival on February 10, 2011. It received positive reviews by critics with particular praise for its acting, directing, writing, story, score, and production values, with some deeming it superior to the earlier adaptation. It was nominated for ten Academy Awards, but won none: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor in a Leading Role (Bridges), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Steinfeld), Best Production Design, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Sound Editing. The film was released on Blu-ray and DVD format film discs on June 7, 2011.
