With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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 action fans and anyone with a bit of wanderlust. Made for the biggest screen and the loudest speakers you have. Shelve it next to True Grit.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Moves at a clip, at 1 hr 7 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1957: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
The coming of the railroad to Cedar City spells the end of the stagecoach as the government gives the mail contract to the fastest means of delivery. McCord loses the stagecoach line gambling with the new buyer, but has enough hidden money to buy a ranch and some cattle. To make more money, he starts a gang to rob the railroad, express offices and steal cattle. But the railroads send out special agent Cameron to end his reign of violence.
