Gunfighter Chuka (Rod Taylor) escorts the passengers of a broken-down stagecoach to Fort Clarendon, 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.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 11/16/2018
2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press 11/16/2018
Good acting and fairly decent dialog overcome a situation that has been overused and characters who are standard types for this sort of thing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Laurie S @Karlwinters 02/27/2025 I saw the sequel: Tossa, which was equally as good. See more 03/01/2016 a fair to good western with John Mills in an American 1967 western beautiful horses to. See more 06/29/2013 Good cast but a grim, rather pointless tale. Still not a bad view. See more Read all reviews
