5/10
second tier
1 January 2020
It's 1915 Mexico. Tom Bryan (Rory Calhoun) is a mercenary with plenty of gold but encircled by soldiers. He recounts his story. After doing a bank robbery, he takes a job with revolutionary leader Colonel Juan Castro (Gilbert Roland) despite getting tired of the work. Castro plans to blow up a bridge to rob a government gold train. They find local supporters like Ruth Harris (Shelley Winters) who are willing to fight for Pancho Villa.

This is an American western shot in Mexico. The production seems big. The vista is grand. There is one or two good leads. In the end, it is no more than a B-movie. The directing is inferior. It doesn't have style and neither is it that realistic. The imagination is not really there. It's a second tier western.
