Kansas Pacific

Built by bullets, dynamite, and blood-stained spikes!

A mid-century Western action film about railroad construction under siege, balancing frontier adventure with romantic subplot and Civil War-era sabotage.

Just before the Civil War (but after the South has seceded), Southern saboteurs try to prevent railroad construction from crossing Kansas to the frontier; army captain Nelson is sent out to oppose them. As the tracks push westward, Nelson must contend with increasingly violent sabotage, while trying to romance the foreman's pretty daughter Barbara.
