The Blazing Trail is a 1921 American silent Western film directed by Robert Thornby and starring Charles Jones, Eileen Percy, and Stanton Heck. The film is a relatively early entry in the career of Charles "Buck" Jones, who would become a prominent Western star during the silent and early sound eras. The plot typically involves themes common to the Western genre, such as conflict between ranchers and outlaws, land disputes, and the hero's efforts to restore law and order. Specific details of the storyline vary in available summaries, but the general narrative centers on a rancher or cowboy battling injustice in the American West. It was produced and distributed by Fox Film Corporation. While not considered a major or particularly influential film of its era, The Blazing Trail is significant as a reflection of the popular Western genre during the early 1920s and showcases an early role for a notable Western performer.
