Gunfighter Chuka (Rod Taylor) escorts the passengers of a broken-down stagecoach to Fort Clandennon, a remote Army outpost run by stern British Col. Stuart Valois (John Mills). One of the passengers is Veronica Kleits (Luciana Paluzzi), a widowed Mexican aristocrat who loved Chuka but could not marry him because of the gap between their social classes. As Arapaho Indians encircle the fort, Col. Valois prepares for a desperate last stand to redeem himself for an act of wartime cowardice.

Critics Reviews

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Rod Taylor's Chuka is an intelligently acted and directed Western that has been burdened, for some reason, with a plot so melodramatic that the effect is lost. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 16, 2018 Full Review Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press Good acting and fairly decent dialog overcome a situation that has been overused and characters who are standard types for this sort of thing.

Laurie S I saw the sequel: Tossa, which was equally as good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Audience Member a fair to good western with John Mills in an American 1967 western beautiful horses to. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Good cast but a grim, rather pointless tale. Still not a bad view. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
