Legendary screen icons Gary Cooper (High Noon) and Burt Lancaster (Elmer Gantry) team up for a magnificent, action-packed western from director Robert Aldrich (The Dirty Dozen)
and screenwriters Roland Kibbee and James R. Webb. With sweeping vistas
and larger-than-life heroics, it’s a tale as bold and rugged as the
characters it so brilliantly depicts. Cooper and Lancaster portray
Benjamin Trane and Joe Erin, two daredevil mercenaries who journey to
Mexico in search of adventure--and cold hard cash--during the 1866
revolution. But they get more than they bargained for when the wealthy
and beautiful Countess Duvarre (Denise Darcel) hires them to escort her
(and a fortune in gold) to Emperor Maximilian’s fighting forces in Vera
Cruz. The trail is fraught with danger, betrayal and murder...and when
Ben is swept up in the revolutionaries’ fervour, he and Joe find
themselves at odds with the Mexican army--and each other.
