Filmed In Sedona

There are about 100 movies that have been filmed in Sedona. The first movie filmed here was Zane Grey’s; Call of the Canyon, in 1923. In 1945, a western town set was built near Coffee Pot Rock for Angel and the Badman, which starred John Wayne, Gail Russell and Harry Carey. The set continued to be used for filming until it was torn down in 1959. A second set was built on Bob Bradshaw’s Ranch in 1967, for the filming of Stay Away, Joe, which starred Elvis Presley and Burgess Meredith. In 1986, that set was burned over the course of several days for the filming of a Wells Fargo Bank commercial.
