The War Wagon
The War Wagon Rolls And The Screen Explodes!
Directed by Burt Kennedy
Produced by Marvin Schwartz Productions, Universal Pictures
A brisk, action-driven Western caper built on revenge, double-crosses, and gold heists, with enough humor and camaraderie to keep the tone from turning too dark.
An ex-con seeks revenge on the man who put him in prison by planning a robbery of the latter's stagecoach, which is transporting gold. He enlists the help of a partner, who could be working for his nemesis.
