Ben Wyatt (Robert Taylor) is an aging gunfighter who has grown weary of his lifestyle. But when an old friend, Luis (Rodolfo Hoyos Jr.), asks for help defending his land, Ben can't say no. Unfortunately, he arrives too late, finding Luis and his entire family -- except daughter Anisa (Ana Martín) -- murdered. Ben is determined to get revenge against the killers, and in pursuing them reluctantly enlists the aid a younger gunfighter, Lee Sutton (Chad Everett).

It's a tired story played by a tired actor.

Not a very accurate portrayal of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. In fact it was a rewriting of history. The correct Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid's fate was shown in the film that came out two years after this one. This film cheated.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Thankfully, ENCORE: WESTERNS showed this again. Sadly, I now dislike this movie. In the second veiwing you not only notice all the cheesy punch-lines and bad story-line, but you see how cartoonish the movie is too. [coming soon]
