Four Sons (sh. Četiri sina) je američki crno-bijeli nijemi film snimljen 1928. u režiji Johna Forda. Temelji se na priči "Grandmother Bernle Learns Her Letters" I. A. R. Wyliea objavljenoj 1926. godine u časopisu Saturday Evening Post. Radnja prikazuje bavarsku udovicu (čiji lik tumači Margaret Mann) čija će se četiri sina tokom prvog svjetskog rata naći na suprotnim stranama - tri će se priključiti njemačkoj carskoj vojsci, a Joseph, koji je zbog posla emigrirao u SAD priključiti američkoj vojsci. Four Sons, koji je za scene u bavarskom selu "reciklirao" setove mnogo poznatijeg Sunrisea, je također bio jedan od tranzicijskih filmova sa nijeme na zvučnu tehnologiju; iako su u njemu dijalozi ostali nijemi, sistem Movietone je koristio nasnimljenu muziku i zvučne efekte. Publici se prilično dopao, iako su mu kasniji kritičari ponekad znali zamjeriti preveliku sentimentalnost.

Godine 1940. je snimljen istoimeni zvučni remake koji je radnju premjestio u tada aktualni drugi svjetski rat.
