Chris Adams, a former gunfighter now serving as a marshal in a small town, has settled into married life with his wife, Arilla. When a young prisoner is released into the care of the couple, he soon joins a gang of outlaws and takes part in a bank robbery. The raid leaves Chris wounded and his wife taken by the bandits, and he sets out after them.
Unable to pursue the gang alone, Chris recruits a journalist and five convicts, offering them their freedom in exchange for their help. The group tracks the outlaws toward the Mexican village of Magdalena, where a confrontation with the gang awaits. Lee Van Cleef leads the cast as Chris Adams, with Stefanie Powers, Michael Callan, Mariette Hartley, Luke Askew and Pedro Armendáriz Jr. in supporting roles. George McCowan directed, working from a screenplay by Arthur Rowe, and the film was produced by William A. Calihan Jr. for United Artists and The Mirisch Company. It followed McCowan's Face-Off from the previous year and arrived in theaters on August 1, 1972.
Made for about 3 million dollars, the film took in roughly the same amount worldwide. On IMDb it holds a rating of 5.6 from around 3,900 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 5.7 from just over a hundred votes, putting the two audience scores close together.
