With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and history and war-film fans. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Sits nicely alongside Silverado. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
- The mood
- Easygoing.
- The pace
- Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 28 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1966: an older pace and style.
At the end of the Civil War, a major shipment of Union gold has been stolen and buried in the desert. Only one man knows the whereabouts of gold and the US Army sends captain Matt Martin to arrest him and come back with the gold. Martin, his prisoner and a handful of men enter Indian territory in search of the precious cargo. The Apaches, outlaws and storms will make it difficult.
