1964107 min6.3 / 10

A tense, action-driven Western mission film built on pursuit, gunplay, and the collision of morally compromised men against a backdrop of Apache conflict and Cold War-era geopolitical stakes.

Two Army officers, an alcoholic ex-Confederate soldier and a womanizing Mexican travel to Mexico on a secret mission to prevent a megalomaniacal ex-Confederate colonel from selling a cache of stolen rifles to a band of murderous Apaches.
