<P> The film begins with Jordan `` Bick '' Benedict , played by Hudson , arriving at Ardmore , Maryland , to purchase a stallion from the Lynnton family . The first part of the picture was actually shot in Albemarle County , Virginia , and used the Keswick , Virginia , railroad station as the Ardmore railway depot . Much of the subsequent film , depicting `` Reata '' , the Benedict ranch , was shot in and around the town of Marfa , Texas , and the remote , dry plains found nearby , with interiors filmed at the Warner Brothers studios in Burbank , California . The `` Jett Rink Day '' parade and airport festivities were filmed at the Burbank Airport . </P>
