A rousing 1970s Western heist-action film about misfits and outlaws mounting a dangerous assault on a fortified gold repository, driven by greed and camaraderie in equal measure.

Luke, an escaped convict, and Jaroo, a loner gold prospector, team up with a band of Apache Indians in 19th century Mexico to capture a large, heavily armed fortress for the millions -- or billions -- of dollars in gold that are rumored to be stored within. Written by Brian C. Madsen
