Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone after some adrenaline and anyone with a bit of wanderlust. Made for the biggest screen and the loudest speakers you have. Liked True Grit? This is a good next one.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1969: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.

A man who has lost everything joins others paid to convey a wealthy man's wife - and a mysterious treasure - to safety in San Francisco.
